This blog is about the book Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. I will begin this blog writing about the chapter in her book called writers block. Every single person has this happen to them at least once in their lives when they have no idea what to write about next. She explains on it happens to the best of writers as well. A good analogy she used is Wile E. Coyote how he always heads back to the drawing board. She also explains that is it wise of you not to think of your self in a block because that means you are literally blocked off by things. Writers block is short for being empty. You have nothing more to think about or write about. Usually writing about easy memories you remember is a good way to start you're writing process back on track because that is easy to do.
I also like how she explains how writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation, it deepens and widens our sense of life. When writers write they try to make their lives or their stories relate to the readers life. So it makes them sad, happy, and loving every minute of the book because it closely relates to their own life. That is why writing matters most to all those writers and readers out there. It's that sense of feeding the soul.
