Use original detail in your writing. Life is so rich, if you can write down the real details of the way things were and are, you hardly need anything… - Natalie Goldberg

Learning to write is not a linear process. There is no logical A-to-B-to-C way to become a good writer. One neat truth about writing cannot answer it all. There are many truths. […] Some techniques are appropriate at some times and some for other times. Every moment is different. Different things work. One isn't wrong and the other right. In class we try different techniques or methods.

First, consider the pen you write with. Think, too, about your notebook. […] A cheap spiral notebook lets you feel that you can fill it quickly and afford another. Also, it is easy to carry.

See the big picture. You are committed to writing or finding out about it. Continue under all circumstances. Don't be rigid though.
