Last year, for my birthday, my friend Jenny Owen Youngs gave me the book Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, by Anne Lamott. The book gets its title from some advice the author’s father gave her brother, when he was trying to write a school report on birds. The task was so daunting because it felt so vast. Their father said to him, “Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.”
