Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

I have high praises for this delightful book. It is chaulk full of chuckles and great insight.
Really enjoyed Anne Lamott's wit. Creative writing is a skill that everyone should develop to
express their spirit within and Lamott shows you the way to do it.

As the title says -- it's about writing and life. And it gives excellent advice on both. So nice to have a successful writer admit to the frustrations as well as the joy of the creative process. So honest, so funny, so educational. Loved it.

This book was recommended to me when I enrolled in a creative writing workshop. I've never tried my hand at writing, though I've often thought about it, but I was plagued by fear of my own inadequacies and any number of neurotic thoughts.

This book was like a best friend lovingly holding my hand, cheering in my corner, and handing me a stiff gin and tonic when I most needed it. Anne Lamott is an amazing writer, both funny, honest, direct, inspiring, and thoughtful all at the same time.

If you're that oddball who has thought about writing (or any other kind of creative work) this book is for you. She incorporates life advice with writing advice, along with a great deal of funny wisdoms along the way. Well written, short, and absolutely amazing. I bought this book for another friend who has wanted to write for some time, but for various reasons has been holding back. She found it equally inspiring and a great read.

The process of ordering went smoothly. I received the book in record time. I'm extremely happy with the turn around and will certainly order books from Amazon again. This is the only way to order books at reduced prices.

This book needs another review written- - -No, not really...But, since I truly enjoyed this book so much and feel that reviews help people make good decisions....I can tell you this...if you start reading Bird by Bird at night don't expect quiet time because your laughter might wake up your room mates, who might resent your enjoyment of reading at 2am. This is one of those books you suggest to all of your friends to read...if you have any...But, you won't give them your copy for some reason and suggest they just pay the two and-a-half bucks on amazon because you aren't parting with this book. :)
