A few months ago a friend started to write here and suggested that I might like it. A few weeks ago I wrote to Daniel Marleau to be sure he was the editor of this place. He replied yes and stated “it’s time for you to get a typewriter and send a page!” Yes, a few weeks ago. As my typewriters sat .idle.
Ahem.
Finally, it came down to the words I’ve tried to live up to.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s good right now,
it just heeds to exist.”
—- Austin Kleon
And more plainly stated:
“It doesn’t have to be good, it just has to be.”
— Kent Peterson
I sent a note to Austin – asking if he had originated the idea. Perhaps he had stolen the idea. (As in “Steal Like An Artist” which he wrote.) He says in his weekly email that it was a lazy week. Not that he would respond anyway. But yeah, not now.
A long summer of selling a house and coming up on two years of … well, more on that later. Happy Birthday to me. It is a good day to start new habits.
I just need to make it so it can be.
