my thoughts on writing motivation, methods, and the creative process
- The Great Bi-Polar Productivity Machine
A manic machine that drives me forward, but also grinds my soul into its cogs. - Room to Fail
When failure becomes unforgivable, art becomes safe and lifeless. - Hook, Line, and Post
A return to social media, fishing for readers, engagement, and clicks. Or confessions of a long-time lurker. - Garbage In, Garbage Out
AI 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 Them
Impostor syndrome haunts me as a high school dropout, often seen as less capable than those who spent years learning their craft. - A Recovering Poet
I 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 Write
Just 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.
