Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
Anne Lamott
A warm, funny, honest book on writing that doubles as a book on living. Lamott's enduring gifts are the permission to write terrible first drafts and the title metaphor — when a task feels overwhelming, you take it bird by bird, one small piece at a time. It is the classic argument that the work is made in revision and that perfectionism is the enemy of finishing.
