By Anne Lamott
Lamott’s book on how to write has five me much to think about. She focuses on fiction and takes us through the grueling, embarrassing, frustrating process of churning out a story.
Two points which make me think my blog does not make me a better fiction writer…
“New writers often make the mistake of making themselves the lead of the story “
“You are making this mistake of assuming everything that happens to you is interesting “

I went on an Anne Lamott kick a few years ago and read a few of her books. I thought "Bird By Bird" was the best and read it twice, actually. Great advice about writing. I particularly liked her concept of "Shitty First Draft."
