Author : Ann Lamott

Ann Lamott teaches writing at the University of California, Davis, and many writing conferences throughout the United States.

Key Insights from Bird by Bird

  • Writing is a process that requires patience and perseverance; authors must approach it one step at a time. Lamott emphasizes the importance of focusing on small, manageable tasks rather than being overwhelmed by the big picture.
  • Finding one's voice is essential for authentic writing, and Lamott encourages writers to embrace their unique perspectives and experiences. She reminds us that self-doubt is a common struggle, but authenticity can lead to powerful storytelling.
  • The first draft is inherently messy and imperfect, which Lamott describes as 'shitty writing.' She advocates for allowing oneself to write badly at first, as it serves as a foundation for refinement and creativity in later drafts.
