![“[T]he one thing I want for you is to recognize when you are really singing in writing practice and honor that. Trust that. When you were screaming on the page. Maybe that doesn't make a whole book but that is the true seed.” quote by Natalie Goldberg](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/84f/natalie-goldberg-1741_book_t-he-one-thing-i-want-for-you-is-to-reco_1097467.jpg)
![“There's probably a certain confidence in your voice, or something, that is validated. You know what I mean? I'm just imagining if people didn't already say that you were cool, that you'd [have] more doubt in what you're doing. That's not so conscious, but that's part of my cosmology now.” quote by Stephen Malkmus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3de/stephen-malkmus-2984_certain_there-s-probably-a-certain-confidence-in_1712434.jpg)
