Glad you finally broke down. Writing Down the Bones is also good - but more of an workshoppy book - not as engaging story-wise as BBB. Love Lamott – and *adore* BBB. Glad you finally broke down.

Erp. I LOVE (love, love) Bird by Bird. When I was dean at CTY, I encouraged an instructor to assign "Shitty First Drafts" to his students.

Writing down the bones I've had for many years and revisit it regularly. The other one I stole off of Mr. Spy's desk and am loving. He has since stolen it back, so I'm temporarily on hold with that one. How strange — I’m reading both of these books too. Writing down the bones I’ve had for many years and revisit it regularly.
