Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Sometimes, writing is inching forward on a project, bit by bit.
Other times, it’s cranking out the first draft of a 50+ page one-act play in 10 days.
The ebbs and flows of creative output will never not fascinate me.

There’s something about the messiness of my handwriting on the page that makes me less self-conscious about the messiness of the content. It’s a trick that helps me get out of my own way.
