For years, I worked on the theory that I was not built for podcast listening. I didn’t like the formats people used, and the signal-to-noise ratio didn’t add up when I looked at fitting them into my schedule.

I’ve been exploring the archive’s of Austin Kleon’s blog recently, and spend a lot of time falling down rabbit holes as one interesting post expands out into multiple links and thematic obsessions carrying on over time. For the first time in years, I’m leaving a series of open tabs on my computer, waiting for things […]
There’s a writing-based group I track where folks are encouraged to post celebratory screenshots when they finish a draft. It’s a nice little ritual, and so I’m borrowing it to celebrate a moment here: Yesterday, after twenty days and thirty-six thousand words of drafting, I typed <<the end>> on the first draft of a new […]
