One drop of rain, on one twig, on one branch, on one tree, somehow reflecting this whole mighty world.

Shout out to any/all fellow procrastinators who accomplished nothing for most of the day... then, in the final moments before bed, managed to eke out one very tiny victory!

Ayyyy! We're slaying the game!

Now that I’m here I’m confused about why I ever thought I wanted to be there. It’s just all so dehumanizing.

That’s what’s really hitting me: how dehumanizing it is.

All of it. The algorithm. The trolls. The being someone else’s product. The way one’s attention can be so easily and deliberately manipulated.

There’s just no dignity in any of that.

#introduction

I write for a living. Usually my own books, occasionally other people's.

Not looking to re-create the Bad Place. Will be content with a nice Medium Place.

I dig big ideas, the Merlin bird app, happy dogs, curious humans, ordinary flora + oddball fauna, and that first hit of coffee in the am.

Easily overwhelmed by the scale of the universe.

Favorite books: MIDDLEMARCH, EINSTEIN'S DREAMS, MIXED UP FILES. Equal parts Philip Glass + Taylor Swift.
