Everything in Motion in the Springtime

On line edits and blue skies and feng shui

For the real nerds: I’m hosting a little warmup session for #1000wordsofsummer, which rapidly approaches. Three days in April, three letters from me, three thousand words to grease the wheels as we approach the main event in June. Sign up here.

Hi friends.

It’s spring in New Orleans and it’s fucking gorgeous out and the skies are a perfect turquoise blue and the jasmine clusters in my front yard are just starting to unfurl their dainty little heads and yes, the world maintains its terrible oppressive pace, but I refuse to not enjoy this weather or at least let it put the occasional smile on my face.

Right now I’m moving my handwritten line edits into my main word doc and honestly it’s boring as hell to talk about but it’s part of the journey of this book. I’ll be done by the end of the week and will start generating new words next week. Every day I just get up and do the work. It’s called a job, have you heard of it, etc.

So let’s keep talking about spring and writing instead for a second—and then I’ll get to the feng shui part.
