vaneramosAt 1 a.m. I finished reading Anne Lamott's Bird By Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ghostsandrobots and daisydumont, my first intention—completely forgotten in mid stream of consciousness—for engaging in discussion the other day, was to tell you about this book. It owes a lot to Natalie Goldberg, but is more honest, moving and inspirational (if that's possible). One feels Lamott typically has difficulty staying afloat in the world (she frequently describes how writing exploits one's personal neuroses and insanity). She manages by balancing anger with reverence and kindness. This book offered some fresh insight to come to grips with my own flavour of dilemma. Recommended.
I'm not yet sure what's on the agenda for this weekend, but at sunrise this morning the loom had bedroom eyes.
