It all starts with the first note.
Deliberate first strokes of pen on paper, or idle doodling of drifting thoughts, all notes are worthy.
The intent may be to generate a list for grocery shopping, the beginning of that long overdue autobiography, a future bestseller, a brief poem, an ode to a loved one, a major orchestral symphony, a to-do list.
They all start with the first note on the page.
