Old Friends are best friends, Aug 7 2009
This review is from: Old Friend from Far Away: The Practice of Writing Memoir (Paperback)
I could have said "Natalie Goldberg has done it again", but that's not quite true. While she has been a writers' coach for years, her new book is fresh, and best of all challenging. She doesn't let the writer/student off the hook here. Pick up your pencil and start writing, and no cheating. Get it all down, the good stuff and especially the dark stuff. This is a well-constructed, lively, and highly professional self-help book that really does help! It exercises those writing muscles, it makes your mind pull out all those details that maybe you might not want to recall.It's short, and packed with ideas. I bought it for several writer-friends.
