Plus, I'm willing to bet if you picked up The Writing Life now, you would connect with it in a whole new way.

It made me wonder why these days people take young children and train them to sing like adults, rather than tapping into the natural voices they have for such a short time.<BR/><BR/>Larramie, This cold and snow so far before Christmas have certainly helped to get me in the spirit of things. The music makes it just right.<BR/><BR/>Charles, The prose blows me away. I honestly don't think I've ever read anyone quite like her.<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth, It's funny because when I first started monkeying around with fiction writing, Scott mentioned it to a friend and he brought the book over for me to read. Since then, I've accumulated a slew of books on craft and on the writing life. Bird by Bird is an excellent one. And thank you for the kind words!<BR/><BR/>Debra, You are very welcome. With all the hard work you've done for Cups of Kindness, you ought to take a whole day off and do nothing but sleep!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567668315717895367.post-35878579609360900382008-12-18T20:55:00.000-07:002008-12-18T20:55:00.000-07:00(o) thanks for the lovely music--too tired to re...(o) thanks for the lovely music--too tired to respond<BR/>xodebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676300309029588465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567668315717895367.post-51617705754490204182008-12-18T20:20:00.000-07:002008-12-18T20:20:00.000-07:00Thank you so much, Lisa!

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek was one of my first nonfiction books in my early twenties that I cherished. I read everything that she wrote, religiously, and loved The Maytrees, too. I can't believe you started, though, with On Writing! Have you ever read Bird by Bird by Anne LaMott?<BR/><BR/>I really appreciate your blog and all the talk of books -- it's just great.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567668315717895367.post-19861484933236734882008-12-18T19:21:00.000-07:002008-12-18T19:21:00.000-07:00I like the prose here.
