I have read a lot of books on writing and her book spoke to me at a deep level. Plus I loved that it was such a little book (the first edition that came out) only a few inches square, and was easy to carry around. I have read it several times. It was over ten years ago that I read Bird by Bird and it probably triggered me and I wasn't ready to look at whatever it was at that time. I have decided to get the book again and read it to see if it still has the same effect or if I have resolved whatever it triggered in me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Bird by Bird.

I think I'll try that image on myself and see how it works. I keep an index card with my favorite lessons from Lamott's book posted on my wall. It says "Bird by bird. Short assignments. Shitty first drafts." A great reminder. Best of luck for the rest of the week. Hi Tui,

Great job with the inner critic smackdown. I think I’ll try that image on myself and see how it works. I keep an index card with my favorite lessons from Lamott’s book posted on my wall.

It is not only a must-read for all writers, but also a must-remember (the most impossible thing to be of all). Thank you for giving links to those who have written their reactions to the book, because we each glean our own important piece from the book and sometimes we need the parts we've forgotten. I read the book with the Write On Edge group online, so I know they did some posts on the book as well (I think there were three), if you wish to read them along with your reread of Lamott's book.
