Let’s Read!
It’s time to kick off our Writing Book Book Club! We’re starting with Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. I will post the chapter assignments at the beginning of the week, a midweek touchpoint question and then some discussion questions at the end of the week before posting the chapter assignments for the next week.
If you want to get ahead or plan your reading, the whole schedule is below. And if you want to start chatting, let us know what you’re excited about, why you decided to join, or your thoughts going into this book!
If you want to post your own thoughts or discussion questions throughout the week, feel free to comment here! To follow along and make sure you’re seeing all the discussion posts, just change the setting below this post so you are watching a post.
You will be notified about activity on that post so you can participate in the discussion.
Or, just make sure you’re checking back on the daily so you can stay up-to-date! Ok, here we go. The reading schedule is below. I can’t wait to hear what you all think!
