i said i would break from social media until i was ready to engage with people rather than lurk. still not sure if i’m ready for the reply game - especially here? - but at least it’s time to post, post, post again

this is making me think about my favorite novels in childhood. raskin's the westing game & stead's when you reach me both hit #2 on the nose -- and the puzzle-revealing-its-own-perfection really is exactly the thing that elevates them imo
all great novels succeed at one of three things:
1) conjure highest truths & realities (people; worlds) from nothing
2) craft an intricate puzzle that reveals its own perfection
3) perform the function of poetry
doing one is rare; two or three = a classic

how often do you sit down and think and get somewhere
when asked to make a big art project i can make a big art project; yet i do not ask myself to make almost anything at all

i think this is the first time i’ve been behind on work in a way that is visible to other people?
the brainfog and distractability of the last (many) weeks are lifting & i’m doing much better but woah it is uncomfortable that it’s gotten to a point where my boss has, like, noticed

coworker and i conspired to do roses & thorns during our team’s informal coffee chat
it was as successful as i could have hoped — we got in an extra 15 minutes of conversation before dread silence set in 🌚
