Anne Lamott

Anne Lamott is a writer's writer. She is best known for Bird by Bird, already a classic, written in 1994. Her early life experiences revolved around her father, a writer and his friends. Her first successful foray into writing was a poem about John Glenn, written in second grade. In high school, she was sought out for her listening skills, and her ability to take the stories she was told and bring them to live in the re-telling. She admits, however, to being a terrible writer at first. Lamott is a single mother, and her writing is more than just about the art of writing--it's about the art of life. It is honest, funny, touching, and real.

Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die... An author makes you notice, makes you pay attention, and this is a great gift. My gratitude for good writing is unbounded; I'm grateful for it the way I'm grateful for the ocean. -Anne Lamott

Think of a fine painter attempting to capture an inner vision, beginning with one corner of the canvas, painting what he thinks should be there, not quite pulling it off, covering it over with white paint, and trying again, each time finding out what his painting isn't, until he finally finds out what it is. And when you finally do find out what one corner of your vision is, you're off and running. -Anne Lamott
