pat felt nice
The next morning Pat woke up earlier than usual. Almost a time that a regular person would consider normal. He was surprised. He scratched his head while bent oer on the side of his bed wondering what made this morning different. Why had he slept better than usual? He tried...

One reason why i like writing about diners
I remember once listening to someone talk about how New Yorkers talked. Apparently one of their primary forms of small talk consists of speaking about the subway. I was intrigued but confused. I asked how can you make small talk about the subway.

An alcoholic town
I lived in a town with afternoons wide open to things like coffees, long lunches, and most importantly drinks. Although every one of my friends were employed in a variety of industries, you would think they all shared the same goal. To get out of working in the afternoon.

Language as Story
All experts have mastery over some medium. Certain media are easier to see like a blacksmith and their tools, whereas other domains come with less palpable material.
As someone who's been claiming to want to be a writer, I've spent a lot of my time disrespecting the medium of language....

Descriptions as Story
My main takeaway from last week's assignment of analyzing how
Colin Barrett
uses descriptions and details in his writing was that descriptions work best when it's the substance itself.
In Barrett's case he tells the story through the descriptions. This contrasts how I had previously considered description a separate contextual...

Summer Image -- Description and Details assignment
The angles and positioning of its windows and roofing made everyday dim. The rest of town could be spending their day swimming, jumping over sprinklers, and sipping lemonade under parasols, and yet while inside this house, such conditions would feel about as real as a TV ad.

High achievement is probably most difficult because of how humiliating it is. The path requires many moments where you let go of who you are right now, confident that you can be someone better tomorrow.

Rewriting is easier than writing
There's a strategy I've seen mentioned independently by some of the most prolific writers.
John Swartzwelder
puts it best here:
But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all...

One time I ran into Trevor while he was staying at Ivan's. We -- Trevor and I -- had plans to hang out and I was surprised when I saw the address. Not that I was aware of where Ivan lived, but because I knew where Trevor had lived but...

Work-Time
I hope one lasting consequence of
COVID
in the U.S is a blurring of work-time.
There's a saying like fish in water to mean sometimes you don't know something you're so ingrained within. The concept of work-time has been something I've been fish-in-water for.
I can recall instances in the past...

Community of craft
During the golden days of

, a warm sense of belonging blanketed me anytime I logged on. I knew there would be people who had posted new things that I could comment on. There'd most likely be comments and conversations developing either on my posts or somewhere else. It...
