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.
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.

评分”写作可以带给你快乐,这种快乐类似啄木鸟在树上啄出作为鸟巢的洞后表明:‘这就是我的安身之处,我生活的地方,我的归属’。”这是我非常喜欢的一句话,也是我渴望达到的。她来自于美国作家阿拉莫特的《关于写作》。在此之前,我一直对写作这件事心怀敬畏,迟迟不敢动笔,就...

评分我热爱写作,所以断断续续地写一些文字,这些文字就像未经雕琢的玉,质朴而不圆润。从没有想以写作为职业,就是执着地爱着,更像一场旷日持久的单恋,我爱他,不是他是否爱我。后来我才知这单纯的爱里缺了些技巧、少了些心思,我只是一味地爱着。这爱是可以有技巧的,是要花些...
评分这个书名很招人喜欢,一看到副标题便觉眼前一亮,让人一下子记住了,忍不住猜测它的含义。 “一只鸟接着一只鸟”的由来:“三十年前,我的哥哥十岁,第二天得交一篇鸟类报告。虽然他之前有三个月的时间写这份作业,却一直没有进展。当时他坐在餐桌前,周围散置着作业簿...
看完这本书,不由得更加同情远子,写作汪挺惨的请大家给他打钱。Listen to ur broccoli.
