Summary: wiz-DOM'
Review: Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down The Bones is
the best book I have read concerning creative
writing and freeing the preconceptions of
grammar, punctuation, and various other writing
constraints. Her voice rings through powerfully,
and she has a message that she delivers craftfully
through this book. This book is truly my one and
only reference for creative writing. If you don't
have this book already and you're a writer, or you
like to write, GET THIS BOOK IMMEDIATELY!!



Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A "Must Have" Book for Writers!


Review: Like Ueland's "If You Want to Write," Goldberg's "Writing Down the Bones" is a perpetual favorite with new and experienced writers alike. Writing in witty and conversational tones, Goldberg offers tips, techniques, and exercises on letting yourself become one with the page and letting your thoughts, words, and stories flow. Less rules are better, according to Goldberg, and she takes you on a journey into yourself where you tap into your inner voice and wisdom to tell the truth as you see it. Goldberg's let-go-and-do-it attitude will motivate you each and every time you pick up this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best "get up off your butt and write" books ever!
Review: Writing Down The Bones is an essential book, not just for writers, but for any living, breathing person on the planet! Through simple and concise writing exercises Goldberg guides us to places within ourselves where our own unique creative voice flows freely. Writing Down The Bones is required reading

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent guide for creative writers
Review: I highly recommend the book for writers both young and old.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An inspirational book for all writers.
Review: This book helps both experienced and potential writers with topic ideas and suggestions. Goldberg's clear writing style is a fantastic model. Some topic ideas she suggests are to write about a time you were really happy, a place you really love, a time you were really down, the most extraordinary story you know, a story you love to tell, or a magic moment that you remember from last week. She inspires writers to let their creative juices flow with the following suggestions: keep your hand moving; don't cross out; don't worry about spelling, punctuation, grammar; lose control; don't think; don't get logical; go for the jugular. She makes it seem easy to write.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Writing Down The Bones
Review: This book is a helpful book on writing. It is not a great book,
but the author helps the reader deal with some of the important
things in ones existence that may help or hurt one's attempt to
write. Having read it a couple of times makes me wonder why
we have to read about writing before we write. I wonder if we would-be writers are looking
for that magic stimulous(a book like this) that will propel us into writing a great book? This book didn't help me.
