Anne Dillard's book on writing is good too.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382050215676302342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-67051923691555619282008-07-01T13:43:00.000-07:002008-07-01T13:43:00.000-07:00Goldberg's book is a little hippie-dippy, but the ...Goldberg's book is a little hippie-dippy, but the advice about "keeping the hand moving" and filling notebooks with dreck as practice seemed to be to be in-line with the non-thinking required at NaNo time.
