N2  - Bird by Bird at times appears intended for the writer who writes to exorcise personal demons. Lamott repeatedly exhorts readers to write about their childhoods — seemingly implying, their traumatic childhoods, as if there is no other kind. Frank and unapologetic about her neuroses (demented flight-of-fancy hypotheticals are followed by stand-up-comedy quips like “I know this makes me sound a little angry”), she assumes that writing is, above all else, a healing process.
