Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

Exactly as advertised

This book is exactly as advertised: “some instructions on writing and life”. Like everything artistic, the advice here applies not just to one subject but can be interpreted to apply to anything in our lives. The simplicity of the instruction enables this to apply to how we live.

This book does cover a bit of “how” of the writing process but it is more about the “why”. This book will probably give you a reason to write- a reason to live as a writer. Or this book will clarify the reason you think you want to be a writer. In any case, pick this book up and read it. Read it even if you have no interest in writing.
