my thoughts on writing motivation, methods, and the creative process
- The Great Bi-Polar Productivity MachineA manic machine that drives me forward, but also grinds my soul into its cogs.
- Room to FailWhen failure becomes unforgivable, art becomes safe and lifeless.
- Hook, Line, and PostA return to social media, fishing for readers, engagement, and clicks. Or confessions of a long-time lurker.
- Garbage In, Garbage OutAI is becoming embedded in our lives, leading to outcomes that feel inevitable, regardless of moral debates, idealism, or the purity tests we impose.
- An Impostor Among ThemImpostor syndrome haunts me as a high school dropout, often seen as less capable than those who spent years learning their craft.
- A Recovering PoetI spent years writing poems in Moleskine notebooks at bars instead of focusing on my craft and connecting with publications and other writers.
- The Article I Must WriteJust get something on the page; that’s what this process is really about. It doesn’t have to be perfect; just write something and keep going.
