I reference @ANNELAMOTT's "Bird By Bird" a lot (rec'd by @GaryGulman on his episode) and I also recommend @marykarrlit's book "Art of Memoir" which I find completely inspiring. #WorkingItOut – source2020-11-25T00:00:00.000Z
“Bird by Bird,” by Anne Lamott, is my go-to gift or recommendation for anyone interested in writing, though it is as much a treatise on life as it is a creative-writing primer. – sourceOstensibly about the art of writing, but really it too is about life and how to tackle the problems, temptations and opportunities life throws at us. – source
