“When people shine a little light on their monster, we find out how similar most of our monsters are.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Anne Lamott
“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.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“If there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through, you must.”

“If you’re not enough before the gold medal, you won’t be enough with it.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Anne Lamott
“Try to write in a directly emotional way, instead of being too subtle or oblique. Don't be afraid of your material or your past. Be afraid of wasting any more time obsessing about how you look and how people see you. Be afraid of not getting your writing done.
If something inside you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Don't worry about appearing sentimental. Worry about being unavailable; worry about being absent or fraudulent. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you're a writer, you have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act - truth is always subversive.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
