Couldn't finish this for a couple reasons. First, I'm not looking to be a writer or anything, I just like to do it. And then life sort of happened and it sat on the back burner for a while because, yeah, I'm not looking to be a writer. Lamott definitely provides some good inspiration and creative exercises to get you going, but also really succeeds with nuts-and-bolts important stuff like how to go about plot. If I ever felt the need to write story, I will definitely check this out again. How far away is NaNoWriMo?
