Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott

4.0

Bird by Bird is an entertaining way of wrapping your brain around the concept of writing. As a novice in the field I found this book to be very approachable, easy to follow, and full of takeaways. At times the jokes run a little long and the anecdotes start to pull you out of the mood, but sometimes they keep you motivated to shove on. This book isn't specifically about how to be a writer, it's more of a users manual for getting over the mind sets that most writers fall into, and understanding that you can look at problems and challenges from a different angle.
