. Unfortunately, according to Amazon.com, it's now out of print. It is a shame. I am hoping that a reprint is forthcoming. It's a great book for the beginning writer or for those that want more information on what it is to be a writer from day to day. It's a great read too.Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott is also a great read and something that I highly recommend to all writers. She definitely has a way with words. I agree wholeheartedly that every writer has "Shitty First Drafts."
Today I am a cellar dweller. Being 39 and back in college I can tell you that homework is much more important when you're older. When I was a kid ... wow, how often do we say that? Anyway, when I was a kid math came easy to me. As a point of fact it was boring. It's a different story now. But I enjoy working on things that are hard. Why else would I want to be a writer?
But then I digress. Back to Mrs. Lisle. The link that I've provided will get you to her website. You have to click on the title of this post, or just click here. There is a link there to download "Mugging the Muse" and I'd recommend that one if you've the inclination. And even if you don't it's a great read. Off for another day of torturing the brains.
Daily advice: Put yourself out there, there's no way to get anything back if you don't.
