Abridged version (approved by Natalie) of her book, read by Natalie. Includes spontaneous asides, as she reads. The book is a crisp mix of memoir, teaching guide, non-fiction and poetry. Natalie strips creativity to the essential mind that is "raw, full of energy, alive and hungry." Natalie is compassionate, practical and humorous. "Even if it's just a leg hanging out the window," she says, "write it down." HIGHLIGHTS: Provocative "Try This" exercises to compel you into action. Advice on how to find time to write, how to discover your personal style, how to make sentences come alive, and how to overcome procrastination and writer's block. Explore the larger vision of the writer's task: knowing when to take risks as a writer and a person, and learning self-acceptance in life and art.
