Greg. A writer lost in a wilderness of words that are so clever, they're probably lilac.

Sometimes reading critically acclaimed books/watching critically acclaimed movies makes me feel like a total philistine. I'm 1/3 of the way through and, while I know what the general theme is, I barely feel like I've scratched the surface of what are supposed to its serious depths.

This one's about being loved for who we are in the deepest parts of ourselves, the places we don't know about ourselves sometimes, let alone show other people. Not everyone will love what they find there, and not everyone is lucky enough to be admitted into our Secret Gardens.

I think a lot about the process of aging. Bodies don't work the same way, recovery takes longer, everything moves slower and aches. Wrinkles form and we go grey. But there is still so much beauty in that, and not just in the glow of youth.

And thus, a #poem called Greying.

I was getting ready to do something new and exciting: my first paper query! I typed it all out on my typewriter and went to print out my pages and whoops! There's a giant line across one side of every printed page. So it goes.

Really, @cnn.com, the Garden State Highway? Do you employ no one to research that it's called the Garden State Parkway? Was looking at Google Maps too hard?

Finally, a quiet day to sit with coffee and enjoy reading this book cover to cover. What's every artist afraid of, according to Thomas Mann? Running out of time. No wonder I picked up my many-months-cold story and figured out what else it needs! Death brings rebirth.

Chicago's first snowfall being so beautiful, it doesn't even need a filter? ✅

My last read, which I still think about: Sally Rooney's Intermezzo, her best so far. She writes grief very well, with a writing style more expressive and expansive this time, helping me devour it in a way I did more with Beautiful World Where Are You than her first two. What say you, #booksky? 💙📚
