As part of the Best of 2009 Blog Challenge I’ll be blogging daily on the bests of 2009. Post by Post.

{December 4: Book. What book – fiction or non – touched you? Where were you when you read it? Have you bought and given away multiple copies?}

I’m actually STILL reading it, but it’s quickly becoming a topic of many of my conversations here in New York. So apparently it’s had a profound impact on me over the past week that I’ve been reading it.

Since I’ve been brainstorming, and half-ass writing, two books this year, Bird by Bird has been an excellent motivation for me to just get over all the analyzing and just WRITE.

My copy is a borrowed copy from Andrew Karnavas, and is signed by the author. He was hesitant to let it leave his hands, but I promise I’m taking great care of it!

Thanks to my writing coach, Beth Irvine, who has pretty much functioned as my therapist over the past year. Thanks, Beth for always encouraging me. And to Lucy Chambers, my partner in saving the world, for sharing with me her fascination with words.

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
