Wanna be a writer?

Wanna be a writer? Then write. Read. Read about writing. Our writer’s group meets every Wednesday. We read our stuff. We tell each other what we like and don’t like. Some of us make changes, some don’t. The best book for writers, I found, is Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. She sympathizes with our problems: writer’s block, bad first drafts, hangovers, loneliness and even dirty laundry waiting to be washed. She also tells you how to be the best you can be.
