Writing through Writer’s Block
Just do something. Write what you are thinking about. Get started. The words will flow from there. At the risk of being way too meta, this post is about writer’s block and trouble thinking because I have writer’s block and am having trouble thinking. How’s that for staying relevant to the journey?

A Tale of Endurance – The Shipwreck and the Discovery

It has to be dealt with and if its a number two, for everyone’s sake, there is no putting it off. It is the immediate and unavoidable disruption to a well-laid plan, a scheduled…

Planning – Drawing the Flamingo
I am a bit of a walking contradiction when it comes to projects and planning. On one hand, I love lists. There is something tactile and satisfying about being able to see a chore or task be crossed off on a list. Growing up, I would make lists about everything, creating an inventory of my…
