How many books are too many books in a day pack you’ll be wearing while you walk 20mi/day? Asking for a friend. #caminodesantiago

@RobbieMaakestad Wishing you amazing writing energy.

Writing retreat at Mission San Luis Rey for the next few days.

Day 20: 701 words. This project takes more than last year's project. A novel is forgiving: if you have 20 minutes to spare, you can bust out a scene. But a researched book takes more intentionality in thought and time. Piano piano, small moves forward. #thepredatorswithin

Day 1 of #the100dayproject in 2023. I’m going back to #thepredatorswithin which I’ve been working on over a decade. I’m close. Only 2-4 chapters to go. Here’s to wilting joy. Here’s to still finding beauty and hope. Day 1: read through first three chapters of draft. Done.

1/10 done. Slow re-entry but I can slowly feel the gears beginning to budge a bit. My feelings now tell me I’ve lost the project for good. My experience with this book and others is that it will come back as I faithfully work. In any case, I am so grateful for #leahpantea’s art

Round 2 Day 1 game thread (1/4): (1) @dexysofficial, “Come On Eileen” (essay Em Pasek) vs (9) M|A|R|R|S, “Pump Up the Volume” (essay @c_biondolillo). Which is the raddest song? Read, listen, vote by 9am 3/14 here and at: marchxness.com/2ndround-dexys…

There is no dopamine hit like the one where your sibling likes your post.

Today my students stopped me in my conversation to write down what I said as a quote. Not notes, but a quote. I am not sure if I’m flattered or brought back to when I wrote down teacher quotes and just called them class notes.

In the path of the beam.

@TheNathanPierce Maybe I can sell it by the end of the year?

@AliceAyers when we read?

At 122k words with this last revision, this beefy babe is a novel.

@eddiematthews22 @RobbieMaakestad @Watermark_Press Congratulations!!
