Doctorow's observation that "writing a novel is like driving a car at night. In Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott told us not to leave the house without an index card and a pen in our back pockets-even to walk the dog. She encouraged us to use journals to exercise, practice, experiment, hone. With Bones, Goldberg gave amateur writers-in the true sense of the word, those writing for the love of it-permission to use notebooks and journals to doodle and draw, to dream pies in the sky, to crash and, quite literally, to burn.
Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones (1986) started the obsession with books on writing.
