Notes ARE special and unique and made me realise if I could life-hop like the protagonist in 'Midnight Library' I would leave notes to my alternative-selves. It would make total sense, just like when I find one of my old notes and I wonder what was I trying to remember.

okay taylor!!!! this was incredible. i love this deep dive into note taking, it's such an intimate and imperfect thing that i think we should definitely treasure more. i loved your thoughts on this wow write a book I'm now officially waiting

Very nice Taylor! I recently wrote a poem on whatever scrap of paper was to hand (a cup holder) while a train was waiting on a platform. About waiting at a platform. Not so much cos I was inspired but as an exercise with that cup holder. Surprisingly satisfying.

And both Teresa and I are putting our 80s & 90s longhand teenage diaries on Substack. It's been fun. Do check in...
