2023-03-19 Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
Today’s post is brought to you by the song “The Way” by the band Fastball, which I’ve committed to listening to on repeat until I’m good and satisfied with where my mind is going… As a child I frequently daydreamed about running away from where I was and being somewhere else–anywhere else. Often that “somewhere…

2023-03-15 Averting My Eyes on the Ides
What a strange day. I remembered the Ides were coming up a few days ago and then forgot again. Then all day today I had this strange feeling something was off. Might have been that 4AM wake up. Might have been the feeling of being too tired coupled with an unusually productive morning. Might be…

2023-02-16 But what does “real life” look like?…
It’s the middle of the month. I’m still lamenting being home from our big vacation and trying to keep things well balanced.

2022-06-28 A Day In The Life
Today’s experiment, after waking up at 4 AM and only four hours of sleep (I was revising poems till midnight), is data mining a “day in the life.” It’s a little research project I dreamed up after having not just one or two run-ins with my errant brain and its memory flaws, but a whole…

2022-06-15 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 12:Part Two ✍️
This is really just a continuation of what came before. Something of the fleeting notion of free writing, and channeling the spirit of a young girl who teetered between not having a care in the world and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. For her, the world in 1984 consisted of a…

2022-06-15 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 12: Just a Girl and Her Notebook ✍🏻
Today’s craft talk newsletter was inspiring. The guest writer waxed on about another writer who wrote with joy for writing and, as it seems, a zest for life itself. Its aim was to remind us that we sometimes have to get away from the notion that writing is grueling work. Let’s be honest, it can…
