Summary of this Book... | ||
Anne Lamott has a delightfully human way of bringing the average writer down off of their perch. Like most of us, Lamott experienced the blind fantasy that being published is all caviar and fancy parties. In this book, she details the real, harsh world of writing and being published. This is ‘cruel to be kind’ memoir of the writing process, the reader is taken through the basics, including recovering from “shitty first drafts”, which often makes most writer’s just give up. In this oddly inspiring, deeply personal and truly comedic book, the reader is left feeling encouraged and above all, not alone in the world of writing. Lamott has crafted an exquisite book for any writer looking for a good read and a look into the scary world of publication with no punched held back. | ||
