STATUS – 05.28.2026 –

Wrote this over on Bluesky:

And I mean it. But before that, I’m going to share a little bit from my Morning Pages journal. Specifically, this morning’s entry which I feel is connected to the above:

Hello and good afternoon.

Feels strange to write anything right now. It feels like there’s so much to do and I want to stop down to write some nonsense in a journal?

This might be the most important thing for me to do.

So much of my daily life is “go from one thing to the next.” And no in that impressive-looking (to me, at least, but that’s a whole can we don’t have to open) way where some young influencer posts about being on a jet all hours of the day, going from gala to meeting. No. As in from the moment i wake up I am needed. And that can be nice, yeah.

But I mean…

Better than the alternative.

Anyway.

There was a time in my life where I thought I could write a book by hand. That these oversized notebooks I keep in my bottom desk drawer were merely waiting for the glory of my stories. That’s why it’s okay for my to have so many of them.

Right?

I limit myself. I tell myself that something it going to be hard and then, instead of looking at that as a reason to challenge myself, to push myself, I back down.

I used to…

I used to.

I still can.

PROJECT UPDATE:

#AMQUERYING – I mean it. I am going to finish that Revise & Resubmit TODAY.

CURRENTLY LISTENING:

Still on my Bandcamp nonsense and still listening to this.

CURRENTLY READING: Eva Evagreen: Semi-Magical Witch by Julie Abe (Barnes & Noble)

I think I have a new arch-rival because this is reading exactly like the kind of books I want to write. I already grabbed the second book in the series and am scoping out Abe’s other books that followed this one.
