Query: Pointless fluff

So what is it that Goldberg is trying to accomplish? Is she trying to convert people to zen? Is she a mouthpiece for Katagiri Roshi (whose name she brings up about every fifteen pages or so)? If she's trying to teach people how to write, she fails miserably. She takes a lot of time to say absolutely nothing and instead delivers common sense wrapped with pseudo-sagely drivel. The only redeeming feature? It proves that ANYONE can be published.
