Press Space for next Tweet
During the Writing Camp Q&A livestream, someone asked @kplikethebird how to get better at writing. Her answer: Read more. The books she pointed to: 1. Made to Stick (Chip & Dan Heath) — why some ideas survive and others don't 2. Hit Makers (Derek Thompson) — why certain stories and formats catch on 3. A Swim in a Pond in the Rain (George Saunders) — how small choices shape meaning 4. The War of Art (Steven Pressfield) — on resistance and actually doing the work 5. Bird by Bird (Anne Lamott) — on process, drafting, and moving forward anyway
