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. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”
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.

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. (查看原文)

Thanks, sister Anne.--10/2019 On my second reading, I found this book is awkwardly written. It's tedious, chattering, and perhaps charged by an unfulfilled novelist dream of the author, thus it becomes neither a how-to book nor a novelette. It's a non-genius struggling.(展开)

书评会在这两周内写完，在此先贴出我的个人阅读笔记，仅供参考： “ With the writer's quivalent of canvas and brush, i wrote a description of what I saw:"i walked to the lip of the water and let the foamy tongue of the rushing liquid lick my toes. A sand crab...

有多暖心呢？ 举个例子：E.L.Doctorow once said that “writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” 写作就像在黑夜里开车。尽管只能看到头灯照到的范围，但你能这样走完全程...

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。

真诚，诙谐，不过总的来说还是一本关于写作的书。

听的有声书。narrator 的语气跟内容好契合，我一度以为她就是作者，否则不会这么配适。后来知道narrator 和作者不是一个人，而且作者已经五六十岁了，也不是这样的年轻声线。听的过程中有容易走神的部分，但是作者确实很witty，挺有意思。而且如有的读者说的那样，其实是有点verbose 的，所以以我的看书速度，估计也是入门到放弃。听书对于我和这本书来说是比较适合的媒介。
