For me it can be prompted by a dream meeting (that I may or may not remember on waking, but retain a sense of) with my late father, or other lost/missed person, and the intense emotion connected to them.

Ah-Neets-Naas sharing the terrible/terrifying truths he endured at residential school & chasing these with, “So that’s TRUTH. But telling this truth has never made life better. Because who cares? Who really cares? So—reconciliation? Tell me what that means & how it will change our lives!”

Nothing like an afternoon of autumn gardening to remember all the details you intended to include in the morning’s writing, but forgot.

TOFINO ! November 4 at Common Loaf. I’m delighted to be co-launching books with @joannastreetly.bsky.social . As Joanna says, assuming that weather and roads cooperate 😁
Books, snacks, music and good Tofino vibe 🥰

So my book has arrived at the publishers and you think I’d be used to this business of w a i t i n g to receive my copy by now, but honestly it has never been more agonizing. (Angst plus mail strike)

Two nets. Must be autumn because until now there was only one here…

Paul Ryan's favorite band was Rage Against The Machine. A generation of finance bros worshiped Gordon Gekko. You have no control over the real-world effects your art might have, and (most likely) it will have very little at all. You might as well make the stuff that speaks to you. Do it. Don't quit.

Lovely bike ride to Yaaqsis, (Long Beach) today. Such soft coastal light. Swooping through the forested path on the bike is my current fave gateway to lateral thinking and #writing related ideas.
