Anne Lamott

Friday, October 23rd, 2009 | Random Thoughts | No Comments

I discovered Anne Lamott a few months ago. I can’t seem to get enough of her writing lately. It started with “Traveling Mercies,” and then I was on to “Grace Eventually.” I picked up a copy of “Operating Instructions” (signed by Lamott herself!) at out local thrift shop and soaked up every word. I tried one of her novels, “Blue Shoe,” and now I’m on to “Bird by Bird.” I’ve never considered myself a writer or thought I’d be interested in writing, but her writings have really been inspiring me. A couple of my co-workers and I have started a book club. Today was our first meeting (we’re reading/discussing “Bird by Bird”). It’s fun to be a part of a group– 2 Language Arts teachers, a Social Studies teacher, and me. I wonder if anything will become of this…

One of my best friends just had her first baby. I have decided that I’m in desperate need of one of those myself.
