Dana’s Reviews > Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life > Status Update

I'm reading this as recommended in a 6 week genealogy writing course I'm taking where we are practicing writing the stories of our ancestors. This book is humorous, but so far has a lot more to do with getting published (which I'm not interested in) than learning to write well. I'm kind of having to make myself read at this point. Maybe it'll get to a place where it is more helpful to me.
