Anne Lamott

We are all in this together, and it's a beautiful thing.

Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts.

You can’t get it right if you don’t get it wrong.

Writing is a way of talking without being interrupted.

Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor.

We write to expose the unexposed.

There is no such thing as a perfect writing process.

The only way to get through is to write through.
