For a variety of reasons, I am feeling more connected to the world than I have in a while. I'm doing my best to harness that momentum.
Still in the strange hinterlands between major projects. I'm doing Couch to 80k as a way to ease back into longform writing (apologies to everyone I know, because I have been truly incapable of not mentioning this) and it's going pretty well. This sounds a bit sad, but I think I had forgotten that writing can be fun? It's nice to be in the process of remembering that.
