Anne Lamott is the New York Times bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow; Small Victories; Stitches; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually); Plan B; Traveling Mercies; Bird by Bird; Operating Instructions, and the forthcoming Hallelujah Anyway. She is also the author of several novels, including Imperfect Birds and Rosie. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame, she lives in Northern California.
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.

評分這個書名很招人喜歡,一看到副標題便覺眼前一亮,讓人一下子記住瞭,忍不住猜測它的含義。 “一隻鳥接著一隻鳥”的由來:“三十年前,我的哥哥十歲,第二天得交一篇鳥類報告。雖然他之前有三個月的時間寫這份作業,卻一直沒有進展。當時他坐在餐桌前,周圍散置著作業簿...
評分有多暖心呢? 舉個例子:E.L.Doctorow once said that “writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” 寫作就像在黑夜裏開車。盡管隻能看到頭燈照到的範圍,但你能這樣走完全程...

評分紙上得來終覺淺,須知此事要躬行
評分雖然麵嚮的大概是creative writing,但對於科學搬磚工來說,很多對寫作心情和生活的體會也很有幫助/共鳴。在痛苦的寫不下去的時候,拿起書來讀一段,會慢慢變的有勇氣迴到桌前繼續工作。
