quote from the book "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott: "... And who knows? Maybe what you’ve written will help others, will be a small part of the solution. You don’t even have to know how or in what way, but if you are writing the clearest, truest words you can find and doing the best you can to understand and communicate, this will shine on paper like its own little lighthouse. Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining."

My favorite quote about #writing:

"You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”
