All The Little Parts of the Process

And some that are not part of it too.

A reminder that the Mini 1000 starts in three weeks. More details here.

Also if you are in Los Angeles, I will be talking about 1000 Words and A Reason to See You Again at Vroman’s Bookstore on January 16. It’s my first time in California since before the pandemic! Come say hi.

Hi friends.

I’ve been composing too much on my phone lately and I blew out my left thumb and I’m taking a few days to recover. So today’s missive is a thread as opposed to a letter, but it’s one I’ve been contemplating for a few days. In the comments, you were chatting about things we indulge in that feel like distractions, but this got me thinking about things that are not necessarily writing and “part of the process” but might be fuel for the writing anyway.
