Anne Lamott on index cards
Merlin Mann | Apr 4 2005
Lots of people had been suggesting I read Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird (subtitled “Some Instructions on Writing and Life”) becaues she mentions how much she loves and relies on index cards for more than just composition. In casting about for more information, I Googled across this wonderful quote, courtesy of Orange Crate Art:
That, for damn sure, got added to the wiki. I'll also be picking up a copy of Bird by Bird today. 25 Comments

Amazing! I would never have thought of that - carrying around a piece of paper and a pen to enable me to write things down! 43 Folders: Helping mouthbreathers the world over. No doubt Lamott's 'Bird By Bird' contains such unique and pertinent writerly advice as "Keep a dictionary and thesaurus handy", "Read a lot" and "Practice, practice, practice!" At only ten dollars, it would still be a steal at twice the price! » POSTED IN:
