One of the interesting things about this is that the tone and style is not all that different from my writing today.

ID: Once when I was about two years old and I had a babysitter and she put a rope around my waist and tied the other end to a clothesline, so she tied me up like a dog. When my mom came home and saw me tied up she was very mad and that babysitter never came back.

If you enjoy my ramblings on notes or my SMLTA column Ignore Me, you can also check out my latest book Anecdotes, a hybrid, experimental, autofictional collection of short stories which won the Victoria Butler Book Award in 2024

Here’s what readers are saying about Anecdotes including my mom who writes “Oh dear, you’re pretty sad.”
