"Writers live twice"
Goldberg's book was one of my early bibles as I wove my way through learning to write. Loved it! I did forget this quote though, which is priceless, and so true!
It just sums it up so wonderfully!
I think Anaïs Nin said it first and more succinctly than Natalie Goldberg:
“ We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
You're absolutely correct. Thanks for the reminder. She was what would now be called a thought leader.
We're the converse of cowards, who DIE many times before their death.
Oooh, yes we are. The heroes in invisible ink-stained capes.
