Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
4.0

This is one of two texts I'll be teaching from this term. We'll see how it goes as an educational tool. I think it will be a solid text, seeing as how it's not so much about technique as much as examining personal creativity, which is ideal for an Creative Writing Intro course.

Students enjoy the voice, but I'm not sure I'll use it again as assigned reading. I will recommend it, however, for a quick pick-me-up for beginning writers who have trouble with that inner critic.
