When you write, you don’t write something once.
You write it five times, sometimes more.
Once for content.
Again for tone.
Again for your audience.
Again for proofreading.
Again for the edit that inevitably follows.
Then repeat.
Eventually you get there.

Not the trick or treating, or the costumes, but being able to repeatedly stab a gourd!

A local paper found my poetry “wanting.” Fair enough, poetry is subjective.
But a reader told me:
“Your poetry helped me begin to explore the me I kept hidden. I smile more today than I did two days ago.”
That’s what matters. Knowing my words have reached someone.

Big milestone today: I’m officially 1/3 of the way through my philosophy book!
What started as 52 essays turned into 72 chapters (because some ideas just couldn’t be left out).
Here’s to the next two-thirds.

I made a mistake.
I planned to write 52 philosophy essays.
Turns out, I outlined 72.
A mistake? Maybe.
But also a sign this project is bigger than I imagined, and better for it.
I’m not cutting it down. I’m writing the book it wants to be.

This one explores Anaximander’s Apeiron — perhaps the first ever “theory of everything.”
Ancient wisdom, modern reflection. More soon.

Someone asked if I’d ever written something so good I had to stop and congratulate myself.
I was 13. I wrote the start of a story so good I couldn’t believe it was mine. That story became my first novel.
It all starts somewhere. Be kind to your work and yourself.
