Bret Lott's Book

I enjoyed reading Before We Get Started and hearing what Bret Lott had to say when he visited the Lowcountry Writing Project. However, Lott's book was not as easy to get through as the others we read for this course. I admired Lott's honesty and willingness to talk about his struggles and rejections. Two anecdotes I particularly appreciated were when he talked about his camping trip with his sons and when he talked about his book signing experience when a woman asked him to dedicate his book to her dog.  I read part of the book before he spoke and part after his talk.  Frankly, he did not seem that interested in talking with us.  Perhaps he has been asked too often.
