For a quarter century, more than a million readers—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title:
“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day.

评分我觉得这本书写得不错,不是那么技术派的。作者自己靠写作和教授写作为生。作为感性的单亲妈妈,她的书里充满了很多个人化的细节。如果自己也是要花很多时间投入写作的人,应该能够对她有共鸣。 但是我不是。总得来说,在过去的十年里,我写的很少。现在我在慢慢改变,因为我...

关于作者自己写作和教授写作课程的故事,副标题说得很好是关于写作和生活的事情。其实写作和生活很多地方是相通的。生活和写作都不应该是一个目的导向的过程,更在于对于自我的一种塑造。
