While stuck in the Fort Lauderdale airport yesterday, waiting for our flight to Houston, I had a lot of time to read. I finished this 1994 book, along with a novel and three magazines, during the travel odyssey.
Lamott’s reflections on writing and life are couched in real-world experiences that speak to writers at all levels of experience. In addition to writing books, Lamott writes articles and teaches writing classes. Her experience with multiple income streams show the importance of balancing different revenue sources, as I wrote about a couple weekends ago.
The conversational tone of her book left me laughing and nodding my head in agreement, but I didn’t feel that it broke a lot of new ground in its approach to the writing life. I recommend reading it, but I think checking it out from the library might be the way to go. If you read it and think it will hold lasting value, then buy a copy. You could also check out Lamott’s other books here.
