BIRD BY BIRD by Anne Lamott
Bird by Bird is a 1994 book on writing and life by novelist and writing instructor Anne Lamott. This is partly a book on writing and partly a memoir - obviously, when writers write books on writing, this is not an infrequent combination, although Lamott more or less melds them inextricably...

Wonderful Book!
Lamott frames her book with the story of her then elementary school-aged brother's struggle to complete an assigned book report on birds. Lamott recalls her father's advice to his overwhelmed son--"Just take it bird by bird," he said. This is the main message of Lamott's book as well, as she...

Well, I'm no writer, so I'll do my best.The frankness of Lamott is very refreshing. So many books on writing just cover the technical approaches and don't really address the...

Touching and funny
Anne teaches writing and this book is based on what she shares with her class. I love the personal stories she tells, especially about her son, Sam. Writers often talk of "voice", and I feel I know Anne through this book. I can hear her voice. She makes the serious memorable, but also funny....

Beyond the book - "Real" Life Tips
Yes, this is a book on instructions for writing, but of greater value are Anne Lamott's "real" life tips. These are "real" because they are very straight-forward, honest and humorous. Can you imagine saying to your friend, "I hate you"? You know you may have thought this at one time or another...
