“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. … Use up lots of paper. Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are an artist’s true friend.”
-Anne Lamott, Bird By Bird
“I could not have written [Girlhood] without believing in the reader who needed it. At the outset of the process, before I could muster much tenderness for my young self, I could love that invisible reader. I could feel her love in return. And as I wrote, her figure expanded and contracted until it matched the shape of my young heroine.”
