Goldberg, Natalie

Bestselling author and teacher Natalie Goldberg shares her inspiring personal journey out of a devastating period of writerā€™s block and back into a life of growth, creativity, and healing.
Bestselling author and teacher Natalie Goldberg has been writing for the past fifty years. But at the beginning of the pandemic, she suddenly wasnā€™t able to write anymore. Her imaginative wellspring had dried up, and she was forced to ask herself: what do I do when what has always worked for me doesnā€™t work anymore?

In this beautifully written, inspiring personal account, Natalie shares her harrowing journey out of creative paralysis and back onto the page. When all of her tried and true methods ā€“ meditation, sitting still, writing practice ā€“ stopped working, she had to take drastic action. She got into her car and left New Mexico in search of a new inventive source. In her journey through the western states, she visited famous literary sites, searching for the spark that would reignite her ability to write.

And, next to Hemingwayā€™s grave, she found it. ā€œGet going,ā€ he seemed to say to her, and she did. Now, Natalie shares her story of traveling through literary and personal memory to clarify her way forward, struggling to make sense of her difficult relationships with parents and teachers, and digging into her long-held grief. Ultimately, she discovers how to write through the emptiness in order to fill up the world with compassion, healing, and renewed liveliness.

For anyone struggling to reconnect with their own creative source, Writing on Empty is a gentle and instructive guidebook back to remembering what truly matters.
