extrait
"Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. [It] was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead.
Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'"

Un livre qui n'a malheureusement pas été édité en France (tout du moins, je n'ai pas réussi à le trouver !...)
Écrit superbement par Anne Lamott qui raconte à travers les pages sa vie, ses souvenirs et ses anecdotes face à ses élèves et la vie d'écrivaine de tout les jours.
Ce livre a déjà plus de 20 ans, mais il est toujours aussi actuel dans ses paroles et sa lecture.

"A gift to all of us mortals who write or ever wanted to write...sidesplittingly funny, patiently wise and alternately cranky and kind - a reveille to get off our duffs and start writing now, while we still can."
