Here are 5 things I learned reading, Bird By Bird, By: Anne Lamott (Amazon).
1. For a writer, writing should be the goal, not getting published.
2. Writing well is about telling the truth.
3. You should stop being a perfectionist in your writing.
4. Dying people can teach you so many things.
5. We all need to give up control of our lives.
