july

Recently I’m realizing that I need a lot of time to just thing for myself. If I’m not careful I just read a bunch of stuff, and then I just regurgitate it as if it’s my viewpoint. And honestly that’s fine, if that’s your thing. But I honestly am more interested in perspectives but I’ve been thought through and kneaded like a dough over and over. 

I think we live in an age where everyone wants everything in an instant, and opinions of others are wanted constantly. But screw that, take your time and knead your dough is what I say. Don’t let others tell you otherwise. Your dough is precious - you don’t have to let others think for you all the time.

Writing at least part of a first draft by hand has helped me shift some of my half-baked ideas out of a piece... but I suspect time is also a big part of what makes writing mature.

Chaff still gets through, alas!
