What my niece said

I gave this book to my niece, a sometimes aspiring writer. This is what she wrote me
Dear Aunt
Thank you so much for the book. I am savoring it. I cannot recall a time when I have ever read this slowly and put so much thought into every word. The style is easy to read, but I love how there can be so much depth to the simplest sentence. I also love her attitude. Sometimes, it goes right along with mine. I have not started trying to write yet. I want to finish and hear everything she has to say about the subject. I love that it is not all glorified and wonderful. I actually feel like I am getting to be a pupil in her writing class (for free!)

A must have in your library

This book should be on everyone's shelf of their personal library, but especially for aspiring writers. Lamott's candid verse and sense of humor encourages us all to wade through the writing process and enjoy it.

Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

Needed this book for a college class, it came it great condition just like the seller discribed. Received by projected date.

Emotionally Satisfying from Cover to Cover

I get frustrated sometimes when I have to sit down and grab my pen, open my journal, and place the tip of the ink device to the paper, scribbling away word after word after word. This process, commonly known as writing, frustrates me, yet I can't get away from it--I love it. It is my passion, my escape from reality, and one of the blessings I believe God has bestowed upon me.
As a writer, Anne Lamott touched my heart in more ways than one. This book was unbelievably beautiful, from page to page, and kept me from putting it down. As a college student, I believe it was also a very crucial time in my life to have read this book, as I'm still refining my own writing skills. I believe I was meant to write this book in this moment of my life, but also believe that anyone can read at any time in their lives.
No, I retract that statement: everyone SHOULD read this book during their lifetime, even if they're not a writer; even if they loathe the art of sentence production.
Not only does this book appeal to writers especially, but anyone whose heart has feeling, which is, virtually, everyone.

Funky Manual

This is a funky manual for fiction writers. It is short, easy to read, delightful and useful. It should be read by wannabe writers. The chapters on character and on looking around should probably be read by wannabe writers weekly.
