Natalie Goldberg’s book Writing Down the Bones was a mini Zen bible of self-liberation for a generation of self-doubting writers. I have admired Natalie for years and was happy to talk to her about her new book, The True Secret of Writing. This isn’t a woman who suffers fools. She may live in Taos, the center of cool in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, but inside she’s still Brooklyn, as you’ll read in this new piece I wrote for Psychology Today.
