Hey! I keep forgetting to let you know -- Natalie Goldberg, one of my favorite writers, a buddhist, and one of my personal heroes, is doing a book-signing in Seattle TODAY ONLY, Monday 9/20. She signs at Elliott Bay Bookstore downtown at 5pm, then at the University Village Barnes & Nobles at 7pm.

She is here to promote her latest book, The Great Failure: A Bartender, A Monk, And My Unlikely Path To Truth.
It's not as good as her landmark Writing Down the Bones or its follow-on, Wild Mind, but it's the right next book for her to have written. It's kind of the "What's under that" volume 2 of her autobiography, begun in the fantastic Long Quiet Highway.
The book that put her on the map
Recently she has begun painting as well. I believe an artist is reflected in everything they create, no matter what the medium. Her paintings are as vivid, intimate, and bold as her writing.
