Although Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott does not contain much on the actual writing process, it has some instructions on writing and life. They may help you, if you are a struggling writer.
The book is not a step by step guide on how to write. It shows how difficult writing can be and contains practical advice that will reinforce your confidence and creativity. Lamott reassures you that it is normal for a writer’s life to be crazy.
Even if you are not a writer, the book provides a great experience. It offers warm, funny, clear insight into writers’ lives and is full of funny anecdotes from Lamott’s life. The title ‘Bird by Bird’ is based on an incident from her childhood.
I liked the book. I would read it again.
