All of it so true! I suppose I should be like you and always have my notebook by my side. Mine is more like my purse, I never leave home without it. I didn't know that otter had an app, I'm gonna download it right now. Thanks for sharing!

Otter's great because it transcribes what you're saying, so all you need to do is send it back to yourself, and 'voila!' it's ready to go.

I also can't imagine not having an inner monologue, although I bet it does make getting to sleep so much simpler! This holiday I'll be doing my monologuing, dialoguing, reading, writing, and cheese eating 4000 miles from home in Bologna, Italy. Being out of the US for Christmas and the new year is brand new to me, and I am truly excited for the change of scenery. Something tells me the urge to slow down won't happen for me either, but I can be sure I won't be short on inspiration.

How do people with no inner thoughts, dialogue, monologue, ANYTHING get by in life? No wonder headphones were embraced so freely. It fills their heads up, whereas I use music and podcasts to drown out the noise haha. Bologna at Christmas is going to be epic! Just the food alone is worth the trip. I've had more than a few festive seasons away from the UK and honestly, I prefer them. Looking forward to hearing about your travels!
