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

The best part of Bird...Submitted by Alfred (not verified) on April 18, 2005 - 6:45pm.
The best part of Bird By Bird is that it's easy to read and it's funny. Of course, it's full of information about writing. Another book that's superb for any kind of writing is Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones. It's the best book on writing I've ever read. It's one of those must-have books if you're interested in writing. In fact, now that I've got started, I'll shamlessly post a link to a blog entry that I'd written a few months ago thanking writers for their books on writing. Warning, post may contain gushy language. PS: Love 43 folders by the way. » POSTED IN:
