There's an old adage in writing: 'Don't tell, but show.' What does this actually mean? It means don't tell us about anger (or any of those big words like honesty, truth, hate, love, sorrow, life, justice, etc); show us what made you angry. We will read it and feel angry. Don't tell the readers what to feel. Show them the situation, and that feeling will awaken in them.
Natalie Goldberg, “Writing Down the Bones” p. 68
“Writing Down the Bones” by Natalie Goldberg
“We must become writers who accept things as they are, come to love the details, and step forward with a yes on our lips so there can be no more noes in the world, noes that invalidate life and stop these details from continuing.” p. 44
New notebook and new pen for this evening. Moving from constellations to starry night and that feels perfect. #writingretreat #writingpractice #nataliegoldberg #amwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/Clo9c6Ov0YQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Found a whole new use for my @zumy_light — writing in the dark! Just catching up on my Natalie Goldberg course on my sad sick day missing out on #writeatthemuseum this week with @wordwestpress. At least some words are making their way to the page. #amwriting #nataliegoldberg #writingdownthebones #writinginthedark #zumylight #stopwritingalone #sickday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd12fxMrGqK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Struggling with something, failing has a great effect--a gap opens, you realize you don't know everything--a little emptiness forms where you can receive something. Particularly in our Western ambitious, productive, drill, workout society it is hard to hear what's at our backs; we only pay attention to what's in front, advancing, a goal. Not succeeding brings us to the ground, to look outside our shell, to even use the small word we are afraid to use: help. [Practice is] something you choose to do on a regular basis with no vision of an outcome; the aim is not improvement, not getting somewhere. You do it because you do it. You show up whether you want to or not.

Got started today. First topic triggering as hell. Wondering if I’m alone in this. Anyone else have “stuff” around Mashed potatoes? Lol.
