But at the beginning of the pandemic, she suddenly wasn'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 doesn't work anymore? \n\nIn 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 - meditation, sitting still, writing practice - 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. \n\nAnd, next to Hemingway's grave, she found it. \"Get going,\" 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. \n\nFor anyone struggling to reconnect with their own creative source, Writing on Empty is a gentle and instructive guidebook back to remembering what truly matters.","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071862063340,"sku":"9781250342560","price":39.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4340533482633.jpg?v=1765057639"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/natalie-goldberg.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
