🚀The Dark Age: The business of not writing

Hello, friends.

Little progress on the book during the past two weeks. Just as our home was recovering from its first bout with COVID, I came down with a cold myself. We're all tired of being sick around here. We've gone through too many boxes of tissues, weathered too many coughing fits. It seems like we're on the upswing now, at least.

Even during the downtimes, I think about the book. I turn it over in my head, consider it from every angle I can imagine. I like the way Rebecca Makkai talks about writing:

Semi-regular reminder for writers that writing does not equal typing.

Outlining is writing, revising is writing, brainstorming is writing, going on a walk about it is writing, research is writing, interviewing is writing. Is eating writing? Let's say yes.
