GOD, it's so beautifully written in an easy-to-read way about the deep topics. 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.
Being a writer is not about crossing it off the Bucket List or getting published. It is ultimately about "how alive we are willing to be?" Brilliant. Finished on 2015/06/12

"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."

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。

许多道理，写作和生活都是相通的。比如说，写作能给你养育孩子所会拥有的那些：关照幼小、关注细节、变得柔软。（拥有孩子也是一种获得。） 真正的细心爱心、如同母亲般不计较付出，相较于想用最小代价获得最大利益，事实上能得到更大的收获和幸福感。

最大感受是：你得开始写！只要一开始写，后面就不是问题了~

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。

其实算是一本写给写作者的自助书籍，而宽容点看的话，自助书籍也没什么不好... 像Lamott自己说的，她的写作有时候就是送给这世上的他者的礼物；恰好没什么人写过一个挣扎的写作者的赤裸裸的日常内心戏，她就写了。有的章节带着特权的惯性所特有的矫情，有的地方却也能给人带来灵感；也算是给后来人的礼物。 | 第一版是1995年出的 - 大概是因为年代，所以稍稍觉得她语调中即便是算不上white supremacy也起码是tone-deaf的成分没有“那么”不可原谅。

本来想多了解一下creative writing的魅力，于是就看了这本书，过程很愉悦，看的速度也很快，但是读完之后你会发现道理终究是道理，与其有时间幻想天地人文道德哲理方法，不如喊个外卖然后坐在电脑前面开始敲字
