Some thoughts on editing
The other side to being a writer

The other side to being a writer
Bringing all of your systems and preparation into a point of stillness that can move in any direction
Get your act together
And you very easily could
Let's use that deliberately
Here's why
The stories we remember
Not what you do
Beware seeing the bigger spectrum
Putting your best foot forward is always better than some averaged impression
A case study
The opportunity is in the uncertainty
Never rest completely. Momentum is precious.
And pay an appropriate amount of attention to the rest
Some thoughts on Ukraine
Especially the presence of those you love
And it wasn't what I expected
The gift of orderliness and the concomitant dark side
Especially if it's the second change for a given plan
Go do the work
With those outside your field
Put your game face on, and then take it off
Closing loops is worth the effort, especially if you can line them up
Identity and change
That's the thing you are here to do, and that's the thing we celebrate
Which you you only see in hindsight
And do work that the past you would have been incapable of conceiving
Resist the temptation to spread yourself thin
Preserving and creating it.
Not desiring what you don't
