Abraham Kim last shared their writing assumptions
Howard felt okay being a broke college student the moment she said that. Yes. This girl that he found beautiful and smart and brave was also a broke college student and this made it so he no longer felt bad for being one. He hadn't even recognized until then that...

Skulls are beautiful as reply to Solid Versus Rigid Planning

As a kid I always thought it was stupid that the Death Star could be destroyed by two well aimed protons. How could something so powerful be destroyed by such low firepower? I loved Star Wars too much to let that get in the way of my enjoyment though.

Recently I've...

Past Mistakes / No Mistakes

brianball and I recently discussed approaches to reflecting on our pasts. I don't want to misquote him -- which is easy to do in discussions -- so I won't describe the whole discussion. Instead I hope to get one started here to see...

Designing for leaders as reply to The Concept

This past week I've reflected on who I want to service with Adagia. From the title you can probably guess that it's leaders.

Back at 200WAD many regular users were leaders in one way or another even though the site's design offered no leadership hierarchy*. Writers like

My new favorite places to write

I've now been writing within the foobar implementation of Adagia Tribes for a few weeks now. The longest running one is dedicated to writing Short Fiction. Another to practicing Hooks. And finally the most recent is for consistently practicing Poetry.

Hail to the Six

As of today the year is 6% complete. 

Have you progressed six percent on any goals you had for this year? 

Do you still have goals by this time of the year? 

Or have they vaporized into the droll winds of holiday's end?

Hope it's the former. This is the first time I ever...

Protecting an image as reply to Whole

I suffer your same habit of avoiding others when feeling down. I also share your realization that it's precisely when people come to us in their vulnerability that we actually learn about their self rather than being blinded by their image.

My primary reason for avoiding others while I'm down has...

Documenting Adagia
After six weeks

Six weeks is a sweet spot when you are hopeful about the next possible steps but also feeling the growing backlog. This is the time where if the project hasn't died yet then just the right mixture of impatience and excitement might drive you to jump to acceleration. To double...

What is a blanket?

It's the thing that keeps us warm on cold nights. It's the thing we want wrapped over us even when the night's hot. Because it reminds us of warmth... not only literally but also figuratively. Of a life we once lived even for a short time. Nine months about.

But what...

Something more important than being right as reply to Solomon Asch

Until about 14 months ago, I was unable to fathom a better way to live than sticking to your guns and being an honest individual. If some or all the people got offended or hurt, well fuck them. That's how I thought and tried to live.

I always found myself as...
