Looking Around and The Moral Point of View

This latest reading from Lamott's Bird By Bird gives more insightful and interesting bits of advice for any writer novice to advanced. In Looking Around, she stresses the idea of how it is a writer's job to present a new vision of pre-established ideas to their readers. I think this is basically the goal of all writing, who really writes to present the same ideas as someone else? Of course we all want to bring fresh, new ideas to the table. In The Moral Point of View, she mentions how moral position is not a message, but rather what you truly care about. Basically, she is telling the reader to write about what they care about, and what they like. She actually says, "So write about the things that are most important to you." (p.108). I agree with this; however, we do not always have this luxury. Anyway, I do believe that when you are either writing or speaking about something you are passionate about, it is the most interesting or simply just the best work you'll do.
