1.18.15 Day 8 “What am I doing here?” is the most common question running through my head. Second is, “How did I get here?” I wonder if anyone feels comfortable in their skin. I don’t. I don’t see how it’s my skin at all. I was exercising in my hotel room the other night, listening …
I’m writing 500 words per day. I don’t know what about yet but I suspect I’ll figure it out as I go. How can I be a writer who doesn’t write every day? Every situation is a lesson. I’m in the middle of the classroom with the bastard teacher that will never pass me anyway. …
1.16.15 Day 6 Sitting in the open air lounge at Cherengin Hills in Janda Baik getting eaten alive by misquotes. And not little bitch Michigan misquotes, these are the indigenous mountain variety that eat steaks in between sucking my blood. Fine, I brought my lavender essential oil, I’m not worried about a few bites. But …
1.15.15 Day 5 Twice today I had good thoughts and I did my normal routine, “Alright remember this you little shit. Say it over and over and memorize it. Keep saying it. You don’t need to write it down if you keep repeating. It’s good for your brain.” And three minutes later both thoughts were …

Seems like a distraction but I actually find it quite stimulating to have something specific to concentrate on. Feels like coffee. I want to write in my journal …
1.12.15 Day 2 If I wanted to have a real conversation with someone, where would I start? Would it matter that I can’t yet have completely honest conversations with myself? I don’t like getting down on myself because it’s becoming trendy. If I say I am bad at something that is supposed to make it …

2.9.15 Day 30 This is my last day. And fitting it’s the longest one to date. 7 hour flight, 5 hour layover, 11 hour flight, 4 hour layover, 3 hour flight, I’m home, disoriented and hoping the sun is warm on my face. In a month have I been able to accomplish anything? Am I …
500 WORDS A DAY (3.1.17) I believe it is time to start another writing experiment. We’ll go back to the original rules so everyone can participate without the requirement of talking to strangers. 500 WORDS A DAY. 1. Can be about anything. I highly recommend using the motivation to work on projects or experiences in …
