How many books are too many books in a day pack you’ll be wearing while you walk 20mi/day? Asking for a friend. #caminodesantiago
Day 20: 701 words. This project takes more than last year's project. A novel is forgiving: if you have 20 minutes to spare, you can bust out a scene. But a researched book takes more intentionality in thought and time. Piano piano, small moves forward. #thepredatorswithin
1/10 done. Slow re-entry but I can slowly feel the gears beginning to budge a bit. My feelings now tell me I’ve lost the project for good. My experience with this book and others is that it will come back as I faithfully work.
In any case, I am so grateful for #leahpantea’s art
Day 1 of #the100dayproject in 2023. I’m going back to #thepredatorswithin which I’ve been working on over a decade. I’m close. Only 2-4 chapters to go. Here’s to wilting joy. Here’s to still finding beauty and hope.
Day 1: read through first three chapters of draft. Done.

Finished in the desert. 8 April. Went perfectly with the light. @douglasjluman wrote this.
An ##AWP22 moment overheard:
Person 1: “How long have you been meditating”
Person 2: “How long have I been self medicating?”

Flying to #AWP22. The pilot just walked the whole plane telling every single person “It’s good to have you aboard.” Then he walked back to the cockpit saying “IT’S GAME TIME. You all ready to go??? IT’S GAME TIME.” I’m so amped for AWP now. IT’S GAME TIME.
