Bird By Bird

 I read Anne Lamott's book, Bird By Bird. This is a book that offers advice on writing and living. The book starts out with her family. Her older brother had 3 months to work on an assignment writing a book about birds. The night before the writing is due he still hasn't started. Their father sits down next to his son, puts his arm around him, and tells him to start writing, bird by bird. I am sure this is a fine book for aspiring writers. I just wasn't in the mood to listen to advice. I shouldn't have chosen this book to read.
