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
