“Learning to write is not a linear process - there is no longer A to B to C ways to become a good writer. A beginner mindset is what we must come back to every time we sit down to write. Each time it is a new journey with no maps.”
“We learn to write what our mind sees and feels, not what it thinks. We explore the rugged edge of thoughts, riding the moments when waves of human consciousness appear and we provide personal details to express the ride.”
Now can you see why this class is so special?! Natalie recommends an easy-to-write-in notebook and a pen that enables you to write fast. REQUIRED BOOK: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. BEFORE EACH CLASS: There are readings and short exercises to complete before each class. During class, we will voluntarily share what we have written and learn from each other; however, keeping personal writings to yourself is respected. During class, we will also do some short (2 to 3 minute) writing that she recommends and occasionally she has a test for us as we progress. You can finish it yourself or get together with others in the class or friends and continue, since I am confident that this book is so rich, you might complete it within months! Questions?
