My favourite part is when she spends 2 years on the novel, and the editor says it isn't working, then she completely rewrites it and reorganizes it and the editor still doesn't know what it's about and she says, "Thank goodness, back then I was still drinking."Rebecca Rosenblumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859985178895250412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403642865904161814.post-71460746116942861682009-09-07T22:11:12.139-04:002009-09-07T22:11:12.139-04:00Writing Down the Bones and Bird by Bird are classi...Writing Down the Bones and Bird by Bird are classics. I return to both of those books again and again, whenever I'm in need of a little cheerleading. How Stories Mean looks interesting, I will have to seek out that one...<br /><br />I love your blog and your stories!

A boy I liked loved it and I thought if I read it I would somehow be closer to him. I wasn't. But I enjoyed it immensely. :)fredehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612937123088996070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403642865904161814.post-92023898637736100532009-09-07T11:33:10.874-04:002009-09-07T11:33:10.874-04:00Bird by Bird is fantastic.

Well, one woman I know does, but we don't like her and feel she has no inner life.' Or something. Anyway, she's a weird, wonderful lady, a born again Christian who's irreverent and smutty. I just finished her memoir Operating Instructions. Another good one.Andrew M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10542288773696564008noreply@blogger.com
