loppear reviewed Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
"Sh**ty first drafts"
4.0 stars
Good funny writing advice on realistic expectations, recollections from teaching and getting words on the page.
Anne Lamott gives her perspective on the art and work of writing. The title comes from a family story when her brother had to complete a report on birds. He put it off until the last minute and was overwhelmed. Her father counseled him saying they would take it, "Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird."
