Title: Briefly on Bird by Bird
Review: There are many wise suggestions here and people would regard each of them differently. For me there were two helpful insights that stood above the others. First, successful and even famous writers aren't flawless people - in life or their careers. They make mistakes, struggle, and experience the darkest depths of despondency. But what sets them apart from those who don't succeed is they persevere and don't quit.Secondly, we have to be truthful and care about what we write. Otherwise the audience will spot the inconsistencies and shun us.Bird by Bird is more inspirational than anything, and in order to have a fuller understanding of the craft it should be supplemented by a more technical book such as `The Techniques of the Selling Writer' by Dwight V. Swain, or 'Keys to Great Writing' by Stephen Wilbers.
