Pomodoro! Piragis books in Ely! Pressfield! Procrastination! We walk similar paths.

I love that Mango poem, thank you for sharing! And about procrastination, I totally understand. I think sometimes as artists we think we should want to make art, but I don’t think that’s true. I think every time we make art we enter into some kind of exchange with darkness, and that can be hard. But if we openly know and accept that, then maybe we won’t resist as much. We can just say, ok, I’m gonna enter the fire for the next hour, and I’ll be okay. Does this make any sense???! 🤣 🔥 🥭

How lovely to hear from you Libby — seriously all of her poems are really good. That one was a favorite for sure. That totally makes sense.. and so now I sit down to write, fire and all. <3
