Ahhhhhhhhhh. Let me just begin this post with a sigh. This year my company was gracious enough to give us all the holiday gift of a week off from Christmas to New Years and even though it's now Friday night and the week is coming to a close, I have truly felt about 15% less …

Editing
The art of paring away, of subtraction, this is editing. Like someone who carves wood or clay, sometimes the ultimate result of creative work comes from a process of taking away, rather than adding to, slowly revealing the final product in reverse. It is creation through reduction. Most people think of editing related to writing. …
It’s Been a Minute, or Vibes
Time flies when you're having a good time, right? You might be thinking that I've been working on some magnum opus post since I've been "away" for so long, but I assure you nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, I've just not had the spark hit at the right time for …
Election
People who know me may have been wondering why I was not writing furiously about the election during the run up over the last week or the results that we know now. The fact is, I like to take my time to digest and contextualize these things myself before I consider attempting to verbalize my …

Less Thinking, More Writing
My writing practice has gone a bit off the rails lately. My periods of inspiration have not been in alignment with my schedule in a way that has allowed me to put pen to paper, so to speak, for at least the last month. This has caused me to be simultaneously pent up with ideas …
Depp-Heard – Part 2
Time and the news move fast these days and it seems this particular moment has flown by. Nobody is talking about this anymore, though it was ALL anyone was talking about less than a week ago. Though I try to be timely in my topics here, I am publishing this anyway because the message is …
