 The best thing about
Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird:
Some Instructions on Writing &
Life is, even when the thought of sitting down and writing is
about as appealing to you as root canal work, she inspires you to
want
to write. That alone is worth the investment. The book is full of
mostly well-established wisdom about the art of writing, but it's
written intelligently and with great humour and passion. She really
practices what she preaches.
She takes you through the standard rules: Write every day at the same
time, always write something each day, no matter how brief, or how
hard
it is; break the job into manageable tasks ("take it bird by bird");
start with short assignments and "shitty first drafts" that just get
everything down, and edit later; avoid perfectionism; write about what
you know; use your own authentic voice and style; use index cards as
reminders, phone friends and experts to
get background material you need quickly and authentically, and use
writing groups and trusted readers to keep you going and honest. She
explains how to deal with writer's block, agents, publishers, and
jealousy of other (successful but clearly inferior) writers.
What I liked best about the book were some of the humbler, lesser
known rules of good writing:
- Stories tell themselves through you, so it's critical to
find means to silence the noise in your head and let them come
out
- Flawed, hopeful narrators are great voices, and points of
view, from which to tell your story
- Plot need be nothing more
than the discovery of what each of your characters cares about,
revealed vividly and continuously
- Characters must show
strength or courage to be sympathetic
- Dialogue must be
authentic and individual, yet concise and fast-moving
- Good
writers must be observant, reverent, and even startled by life and its lessons
- Great stories
are about great truths, things the writer
cares passionately about that come out in the writing: "To be a good
writer you not only have to write a great deal, but you have to
care."
- You must trust yourself and your intuition, especially
with first drafts, not self-criticize and second guess every
step
- You have to give the best you have always, not save it up
for the next story
- Writers have a duty to the reader to be
honest, to make
things clearer, to help heal readers' "gaping wounds and dazed
expressions", to soothe
The book includes an extraordinary 2-page story by the author
that
illustrates these and other points: It is charming, heartbreaking,
full
of surprises, imbued with the author's great love for two very special
characters, imbued as well with a bit of wonderful, spare, dialogue,
some stunning imagery and an improbable analogy. But mostly, the story
moves, and in so doing it
takes the reader along for the ride.
Until you can read Bird by
Bird for yourself, here are two quotes by other accomplished
writers about the art of writing:
"The greatest writing is done on the edge of what you know and what
you
don't know."
-- Beth Nielsen Chapman
"The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can
think."
-- Edwin Schlossberg

locations to 23,000 by the end of the year: Korea spent publicly to
build a broadband infrastructure, and that's paid rewards with 71
percent of the population having high-speed service. 8 Mbps DSL costs
as little as $20 before tax and equipment and a Wi-Fi subscription is
as low as $9 for DSL subscribers. KT is now also selling cell/Wi-Fi

Korean researchers are challenging Honda's Asimo and Sony's QRIOwith the introduction of HUBO, a
humanoid robot with individually moving fingers. HUBO will be
officially unveiled early next month, but Korea is doing its best to
let Japan know they are gunning for their position as the leader of
the world's useless showpiece robots. If this starts a robot arms
race, I will be a happy fleshbag.

Advice to Korea's smartmobs
Advice to Korea's smartmobs
03/13/2003 10:24 AMHoward Rheingold's written an introduction for the Korean edition of
Smart Mobs, which takes the form of a letter of advice to Korea's
Internet generation.
First, do not mistake the tool for the task. The democratization of
publishing, communication, and organizing that is afforded by PCs, the
Internet, and wireless mobile devices is indeed an important tool for
grassroots activism. But it is the knowledge, intentions, and actions
of people in the real world -- where ballots are cast, political
decisions are made, wars and demonstrations take place -- that
empowers democracy. Netizens must have more in common than their
technical expertise in order for them to conduct discourse rather than
flame each other, to act collectively in the physical world rather
than sit in front of keyboards and type all the time. Long-term
political organizing is hard work.
Second, understand that not every smart mob is a wise mob. The
difference between a riot and democratic discourse is a literacy: if a
sufficient percentage of the population does not understand the
important issues of the day and does not know how to debate those
issues and the governance policies affected by them, the democracy
will be hollow and easily manipulated, even if the leaders are
selected in fair elections. Deliberation is important for leaders and
populations of citizens alike.
Third, civility, reason, and evidence are what distinguish the public
sphere -- the free and open discourse among citizens that provides the
foundation for democracy -- from the emotion-charged, ignorant,
slogan-slinging online combat that sometimes drowns out political
debate. The Web is a wonderful resource, and search engines are
powerful tools. If you are arguing an issue, take two minutes to
research it and post a link as part of your argument. You can question
evidence, but questioning evidence is the basis of science and
jurisprudence. The point is to argue the issues and evidence, not to
attack the character of opponents.

Thanks, Howard!)
