Anne Lamott “Word by Word” / Reclaiming, Reminding

August 8, 2011 by Margaret Duarte

Anne Lamott “Word by Word” / Reclaiming, Reminding.

I’m learning to be who I am, reclaiming, remembering.

I coming alive today.  I’m coming to life.

Thank you, Anne Lamott, for kicking me in the pants — Word by Word — for telling me that this is what writers are supposed to do to keep their creative wells full.

Word by Word as described on Amazon: 1997 Audie Award winner for country’s Best Educational/How-to/Instructional Audiobook. Provocative and witty, Anne Lamott takes you beyond her book Bird by Bird. Good writing, she says, slows you down, opens your heart and arrives through your fingers, knowing what it’s about. Learn how to keep things simple and how to write honestly about family and friends as you listen to this inspiring, live performance.
