Set your creativity free with a writing guide that “wakes you up like a cross between morning coffee and a friendly Zen master” (Jack Kornfield).
Natalie Goldberg, author of the bestselling Writing Down the Bones, shares her invaluable insight into writing as a source of creative power, and the daily ins and outs of the writer’s task. Topics include balancing mundane responsibilities with a commitment to writing; knowing when to take risks as a writer and a human being; coming to terms with success, failure, and loss; and learning self-acceptance—both in life and art.  Thought-provoking and practical, Wild Mind provides an abundance of suggestions for keeping the writing life vital and active, and includes more than thirty provocative “try this” exercises as jump-starters to get your pen moving. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Natalie Goldberg, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Quotes

  • Gabriel Galavizhas quoted2 days ago
    know about impermanence, but it does not drive us into a hole. We dare in the face of it to stand up and become intimate and not just with human beings, which is hard enough, but also with the sky, water, chair, butter, cow and sidewalk. Is this not also the way of a writer?

    that has followed me for years. It’s a black dog and I have no peace.
  • Gabriel Galavizhas quoted2 days ago
    I got up and meditated this morning and then I ran. I came to the Galisteo Newsstand and had a grapefruit sparkler, then I—what I really want to say is I had a miserable dream last night. Something about Nazis and I can’t remember it. Before I went to sleep, I stuck my bubble gum on the nightstand and I don’t know how many more nights I can go without making love. It was a blue Sunday and I pretended I was happy watering my vegetable garden. I’m not happy. I’m lonely. Loneliness is a dog
