具体描述

For a quarter century, more than a million readers—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title:

“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”

An essential volume for generations of writers young and old, Bird by Bird is a modern classic. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition will continue to spark creative minds for years to come.

读后感

我想说的是，这本书绝对是一个宝藏，它带给你的不仅是如何写作，更是如何生活。所以把书名的instruction译作指南绝不过分，对，这就是一本写作和生活指南。 摘录了一些句子，稍作分类和点评，暂当做对本书的缩水版吧。但是，就像作者所说的，光靠一句话无法成为伟大的...  

写作，或称为记录牵涉到感知。当感知变得敏锐，并以单纯、深入、实事求是的态度进行创作，将能让读者（用户）得到启发。他们会从文字和影像中认知到自己的生活和真相，进而减轻我们刚收到的可怕和孤独。 写作的关键字： 短文撰写 持续散漫的文字 戏剧性——设定、发展、高潮 ...  

用户评价

It's more about reviewing your life.

值得每一个想写的、在写的人看。最好的地方是它能陪你度过你（在写作中）要经历的一切纠结和难过。

Just started reading it, sounds good so far...

最大感受是：你得开始写！只要一开始写，后面就不是问题了~

We mimic, we parrot --we are writers.
