Introduction

In the introduction to Bird by Bird it goes through a description of her life. She talks about stories in her life and how it connects to writing. Her father used writing to write down her thoughts and helped introduce her to writing. She used writing to find her voice and express her feelings or thoughts. Reading and poems inspired her to become a writer when she grows up. She was friends with the popular kids, but never really felt like she belonged or fit in with the rest of them. Writing was her escape from reality. There were many times that she struggled with her writing and felt discouraged, but never gave up. The book will be talking about her writing journey and the lessons she learned along the way.
