perfect
I absolutely adored it. It was both a slap back into reality and a warm hug of encouragement.

A Gift
If you're a writer or wannabe writer this is a rich insight into the habits and mindset of Anne Lamott : fantastic for broadening perspective and looking at things in different ways. Absolutely loved the intimacy of listening to Anne herself talking about her processes. This is a real treat.

Wonderful!
Word By Word, a town hall event that Lamott spoke at in Austin some years ago. On balance, she was outstanding; a funny, intense, and emotive woman deeply passionate about the act of writing, which she describes as an act of therapeutic creativity. Her words just tumbled out of her in what felt like a 150-minute long sentence, an adrenalized flurry of exposition. The woman barely paused to take a breath. It was as if her vocal chords were on steroids, her brain shooting out mind bullets. I was getting exhausted just listening to her. Certainly made me want to write. Highly recommended!!

Excellent insights into authentic writing.
Ditch the obsession with being published and let yourself be known. Let your words become you and let your voice be known. so many rich snippets and aides to support writers

Interesting freeflow on writing
I wasn't expecting a recorded lecture. I thought this was a book, however it was interesting to hear the author's own voice and natural rhythms of her speech as she explains her values and priorities when approaching writing. Very good.

Hilarious and life-changing in equal measure.
This is alive talk by writer, parent and recovered alcoholic Anne Lamott. If you're a writer or creative of any kind, or yearn to be, treat yourself. And if you're not, it just might turn you.
