I took notes on the people around me, in my town, in my family, in my memory. I took notes on my own state of mind, my grandiosity, the low self-esteem. I wrote down the funny stuff I overheard. I learned to be like a ship's rat, veined ears trembling, and I learned to scribble it all down. ✨ Anne Lamott (2007). Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, p.23, Anchor
