The Practice of Attention Study Group : Sundays at 5pm EST April 12 - May 31 Join the Waitlist 

Cody's Clubhouse (working title): Writing Group beta test Join the Waitlist 

Dear Reader,

The Practice of Attention comes out in five days, a book I outlined in 2021, finished the first draft last February, and edited throughout the Spring and Summer of 2025.

The process of editing the book led me to an irreversible decision, which was to delete my two Instagram accounts - @personapractice (a series of over 900 dance videos) and my personal/creative business account @codycookparrott (the same account that was originally @havecompany)

In many ways this felt like one of the most freeing gifts I’ve ever given myself. But as time has moved on and I’e been interviewed countless times about the book, a new and hidden truth has emerged.

The rest of this essay is for paid subscribers of this newsletter. When you become a paid subscriber, you help me, a working writer, stay working.
