The Writing Life

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted about my process.

For one thing, I doubled my teaching load this semester so blogging hours have taken a serious hit.

For another thing, not training for a marathon has been as hard as training for a marathon (go figure), so I’ve been negotiating that minefield instead of the usual literary naval gazing.
(Dang if it isn’t always something…)

And for a third thing, my process has been highly erratic of late.
I’m working on various projects in fits and starts.
There have been dizzying high points and super slo-mo frustrating lows.
And I’ve been too "in it" to offer any reflections that are more articulate than sort of homo habilis-esque grunts.

All that said, I’ve got a bunch of thoughts piled up here so this next week or so I’ll share them.
If it gets too self-referential, please tell me to stop and I’ll do a post of knock-knock jokes are something.
Okay?

And now, to kick it off, this awesomely inspiring YouTube vid on making art.
(Passed on by my friend Kath…)

More tomorrow…
Namaste.
