perhaps naively, i think not giving credit is a symptom of imposter syndrome
this sort of thing eats away at you… if you think you have to have all the answers or figure it all out alone, simply not true
the act of researching and quoting other writers is an act of community

love Ruth Reichl!! Comfort Me with Apples & Garlic and Sapphires are also incredible (and you’ll be hungry obvs)
James Herriot is in same space, joyful but honest about challenges (All Creatures Great and Small is great one to start)
John McPhee, so much! Oranges is fascinating
