Title: Bird by Bird Some Instructions on Writing and Life
Author: Anne Lamott
Genre: Non-Fiction

I heard about this book from many sources before I actually picked it up. It was on my list to buy for years. Literally years but I never did until just a few weeks ago. I'm glad I did. I enjoyed it. I found the first several chapters to be particularly interesting and inspiring, actually helpful instructions on the creative process. The later chapters didn't resonate as much with me but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. It was a very quick read, some might say breezy, even though if you are a writer there is no subject matter that is more important and more intense.
