Thunder and Lightning: Cracking Open the Writer's Craft
by Natalie Goldberg
"So when someone edits your work- in class or privately- you should be stalwart but also let yourself bristle with the pure fear! Let it ripple through your whole body, let it burn you to a crisp like a marshmallow- it's another way to be done with yourself. Then you can listen like a rock or mountain when someone tells you, 'This feels like grinding it out- you're reciting by rote. This image isn't earning its way each time you use it. These pages don't make it.' "
- I enjoyed her thoughts on Southern writers and the importance they place on Mentorship. It's interesting she brought that up since I've been thinking about mentors and the creative process recently- Caroline Gordon and Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty and Katherine Anne Porter, Jane Keyon and Donald Hall (Did they consider themselves each others mentor?) The Inklings. . .
- Makes me want to join/ start a writing group
- Goldberg is much harsher than Julia Cameron; I'd love to be in either of their workshops.
