While there were some questionable points, Lamott’s ‘Bird by Bird’ shows the neurotic side of a writer. I have had moments where I have buried my head in the covers because of yet another rejection.
While none of the advice is particularly groundbreaking, I found the personal anecdotes refreshing—finding that they add to the overall narrative. This book is likely more beneficial to people who are new to writing/publishing.
Overall, this was an entertaining read. I empathise with Lamottt on the struggles of being a writer.
