Wild Mind
Ten years ago I was dumbstruck reading the snippet below - and I’ve never forgotten it - from Natalie Goldberg’s classic for writers and writer wannabees (highly recommended).Ten years ago, I was curled up in the dot’s lap (patience…read further) cranking out C++ computer programs.
I am dumbstruck again recalling ten years ago. I would have thought it utterly impossible - crazed even - to live the way I do now. Note to self: Scrap five-year plans - I’d only limit myself.

Thank a lot for this great post. Such books are always a pleasure to read. They all say the same things, but in other words, images and contexts. The authors tell you how they started to write, their family situation (most of the time literacy families), and tricks that helped them to get published, but more important then this: what the benefits of writing in their lives. All the same? Mostly… but… how inspirational! I can’t wait to read this one; he is already en route to my door.
I lately read another great work on journals and diaries keeping by Alexandra Johnston. I would like to share this reading with you. I posted about it some days ago:

I hope you’ll enjoy the reading.
