Anne Lamott, on using writing to open a door:
"There is a door we all want to walk through, and writing can help you find it and open it. Writing can give you what having a baby can give you: it can get you to start paying attention, can help you soften, can wake you up. But publishing won’t do any of those things; you’ll never get in that way."

If you really want to understand a topic, don’t read about it, write about it.
