Lamott's Bird by Bird reads like advice from a mother who knows what it feels like to write, and also curses and is a bit funny. As good as I hoped it would be when it was recommended to me. (  ) et.carole | Jan 21, 2022 |  Every writer's bookshelf should contain at least one copy of this book. ( ) auldhouse | Sep 30, 2021 | I couldn't finish this book. I got to the 2/3 point and realized that I didn't need to be taking endless advice from this woman. Explanation of rating: 1 star - She's funny. I like her humor. 2 star - She gave good advice. I learned to write shitty first drafts and then read them over a month later and edit the shit out of them. 3-5 stars - This was boring. I do not want someone to lecture me for an entire book. The writing had no life. (  ) Gadi_Cohen | Sep 22, 2021 | Tampoco para echar cohetes pero bueno (  ) Orellana_Souto | Jul 27, 2021 | Maybe it's the pandemic but I couldn't finish this. It was good but I lost all oomph about 3/4 of the way in. (  ) Tosta | Jul 5, 2021 |
 A gift to all of us mortals who write or ever wanted to write...sidesplittingly funny, patiently wise and alternately cranky and kind--a reveille to get off our duffs and start writing now, while we still can.  Superb writing advice...hilarious, helpful and provocative. A warm, generous, and hilarious guide through the writer's world and its treacherous swamps.
The author of five books, including the novels Hard Laughter, Rosie and Joe Jones, offers an "inspiring book about writing as a way of finding truth" (San Francisco Chronicle). "A reveille to get off our duffs and start writing now, while we still can".--Seattle Times. "Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'" No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
