Summarized by durumis AI

  • Natalie Goldberg's 'Writing Down the Bones' is a classic book that allows you to feel structure and freedom through writing, and especially emphasizes the practice of writing down your first thoughts.
  • This book encourages you to freely pour out your thoughts during the writing process without being bound by editing, spelling, or grammar, and emphasizes writing that overcomes fear and shame and reveals yourself as you are.
  • Ultimately, writing is a free act of self-expression, and it says that through the process of revealing your own individuality, you can experience true happiness and growth.

I took this from Natalie Goldberg's "Writing Down the Bones".

It's a classic book on writing. Free writing. A book that makes you feel the structure and freedom through writing.


It's about the first thoughts, which the author emphasizes in other books she has written.

1. Keep your hand moving.

Don't stop to read what you just wrote. Then you will hesitate to control what you are writing now.

Don't stop your hand. Even for 10 minutes, believe in your first thoughts and keep writing. Through practice, increase your concentration time. Don't go back and hesitate to read what you've written. Keep writing.

2. Don't erase.

Don't edit. Even if it doesn't match your intentions, push through.

Don't edit while writing. Instead of erasing or hitting backspace, move forward. Even if you are writing something different from your intention, keep going.

3. Don't be bothered by spelling.

Don't be bothered by grammar. Don't be tied to white space or lines and write.

Spelling. Punctuation. Don't be tied to any other rules. Don't be tied to white space or lines either. Some parts are guided by writing on paper because the book has been out for a long time.

No matter what you use, paper or an editor, don't be bothered by anything other than writing and write.

4. Don't control yourself.

Don't control anything. Don't control it, let it flow freely. At some point, you will reach a state where you feel freedom.

5. Don't think. Don't try to be logical.

Stop thinking and leave it to your hands. Reach a state where your hands move without going through your brain. At some point, you will feel freedom. Throw away the desire to write flying thoughts logically and run. You will fly someday.

6. Get to the core. Go into the blood vessels.

Even if you are scared or feel naked, dive deeper. There will be energy there.

Don't stop even if you are afraid of being exposed or embarrassed. Instead of decorating your outer clothes, or trying to find other intentions, don't hesitate to dive into the squirming blood vessels.

Write with blood. Dive into the blood vessels that follow the rhythm of your heartbeat and express yourself as you are.

That will make you you and make you original.


Nietzsche said he only believed in writing with blood. We must write with blood. We have decided to write as deeply as blood.

Blood. It's not easy to erase. Blood. It doesn't flirt carelessly. Blood. It makes you feel sincere.

If you let writing with blood play freely without restrictions, you will feel freedom.

I dare to write and want to be happy.

The words "living" and "seeking the Tao" really fit perfectly.

I feel freedom and happiness.

Even the heart of a petty person feels hot. You get a sense of comfort that you are growing your vessel.

Let's live together in this beautiful world, us~~!!

I support your challenge.

Just keep going
