Love this! Thanks for sharing how you found her work. I discovered Writing Down the Bones when I was a partner in a law firm. Fast forward ten years and I had moved to Taos New Mexico and became her assistant. Such fond memories from a decade with her. We're still in touch and, five books in, I'm so grateful for her work which gave me a different framework for what it meant to write. Life has such interesting twists and turns.

Great piece. I also discovered Natalie's book as a young reporter in New Mexico in the '80s and have never experienced writer's block since.
