Writing Down the Bones Deck

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: Writing Down the Bones Deck - 60 Cards to Free the Writer Within. By Natalie Goldberg. Published by Shambala. US $18.99 : Can $24.95

Are you a new writer or one that has writer’s block? Choose a card at random or work through them in sequence!  These coaching and inspirational cards help you become a prolific writer, or will expand your writing abilities. Plenty of advice here! Each card has a short pithy topic and a short writing lesson. 

Sample card: Begin with “I’m thinking of” and every time you get stuck, return to the words, “I’m thinking of”. This is a classic one I’ve used at least a thousand and ten times. It seems to flush out the mind, cleans the corners. Not complicated. It’s an entry point. 

New Mexico is the home of Natalie Goldberg, author of 15 books. This is a bestseller. I would say - putting flesh on the bones! A course in writing! Ideas! Ideas! Ideas! Some better than others!
