“Learning to write is not a linear process. There is no logical A-to-B-to-C way to become a good writer. One neat truth about writing cannot answer it all. There are many truths. To do writing practice means to deal ultimately with your whole life. Some techniques are appropriate at some times and some for other times. Every moment is different. Different things work. One isn’t wrong and the other right. Trust yourself.”
~Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones p. 3
