## Description

PENGUIN Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life : Lamott, Anne: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: The book talks to every person and it befriends every writer. The author Anne Lammot tells her students to plug their nose, jump in, and write. She writes about the fears, the slack, the disinterest, the “am I having cancer or mental illness” phase, all phases a writer can go through to keep at writing on his or her desk. After every chapter I took down points in my notebook. Apart from addressing writers, the author in her foreword says the book is a narrative of her take on life. A must read book. 📕 It is very interesting, insightful and filled with practical advice.
Review: A classic - funny, insightful, and a keeper. No wonder Bird By Bird is a recommended read in writing programs the world over.
