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. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead.

An essential volume for generations of writers young and old, Bird by Bird is a modern classic. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition will continue to spark creative minds for years to come.

sometimes it came off as trying too hard to be funny but mostly interesting and honest. would love to read something from Anne Lamott
评分Just started reading it, sounds good so far...
评分虽然面向的大概是creative writing,但对于科学搬砖工来说,很多对写作心情和生活的体会也很有帮助/共鸣。在痛苦的写不下去的时候,拿起书来读一段,会慢慢变的有勇气回到桌前继续工作。
评分It's more about reviewing your life.
评分We mimic, we parrot --we are writers.
