it's been a long time since I considered myself a writer. Even longer since I dreamed that one day I could be only that, and profit from it. I chose to read this book knowing absolutely nothing about it, as it was a staff pick at work. I had no idea how directly it interacted with the work of writing, and it is comprehensive! I really enjoyed reading the book, from start to finish. I think really anyone who enjoys reading or writing (even casually) would enjoy this book, and that is a testament to the writing skills of Lamott! There is humor and reflection and hard-earned advice throughout that makes for a interesting and captivating read, regardless of your current status in the "could I be a writer" question.
