----- Original Message ----- From: laurie ornstein - laurenmadeline@xxxxxxxxx Subject: "Bird by Bird" Hi All, I want to deviate from all our "woes" and recommend, "Bird by Bird", a wonderful book that winked at me from a 2nd hand bookshop shelf. (Ashan Hazman in Beersheva) It was sandwiched in-between some non-descript lacking-in-nutrition novels, but believe, me this one is "whole grain". It's for want-to-be writers, writers in residence, teachers, etc. Anne Lammott has written a healthy ( I said it was "whole grain!"), humorous and insightful guide to writing. She covers everything from the blank page syndrome to publishing and in the last chapter, even libel. (you won't forget her witty words of wisdom on that!) But don't jump to the last pages...savor it from the start. Have a good week!
