An Anne Lamott documentary film was on PBS last night. I mean, it wasn't revelatory if you've read her columns a lot but it did show her giving a talk to some writers, etc.I'm all excited about my "shitty first drafts" now.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

If that's the same one PBS has shown before, it was taped/filmed in Charlotte a few years ago. I was there. It pissed me off they didn't show the translator for the deaf--he was awesome!

Really? That's great. A good interpreter is something to see...it's too bad he didn't make the film...they're so expressive.

He was so good Annie actually stopped talking to watch him. And then he stopped and looked at her, like, "...and then?" And she blushed and laughed, and the whole audience laughed, and at the end, she ran over and hugged him.
Several times during the thing I got so engrossed in watching him I stopped watching her. It was pretty great. But I guess including him would have detracted from her, and the show was about her, after all.

I feel like such a writer, I was going over the V!Giles stuff, came up against the laying/lying verb thing, then glanced at the shelf of writing books and actually pulled one down to use. I've read them all in a general way for info and inspiration, but I'm finally using them as tools.
I must have about a dozen books on writing now. They make me happy.
