Bird by Bird — Anne Lamott
The most honest book about writing I've ever read. Lamott doesn't pretend the process is glamorous — she just shows you how to get through it, one small piece at a time.
"Bird by Bird" is required reading for anyone who wants to write anything. Funny, wise, and deeply practical.
