Newsletter 02

The last month was lopsided dealing with setbacks. That’s not acute for me.

What that means is organization and regimented progress simply do not work in the context of my life. It moves like the tide, not a wavelength.

I am finding more material I want to write about than I can keep up with. I thought that committing to a book would possibly steal from blog material; instead, it’s making my creative process more apparent to me: I do not bend to control. Not even my own.

Working on blog essays with Reorganism as a separate project, on top of trying to get back to normal on a bike, is forcing me to compartmentalize when I have already discovered and written that my mind naturally fights it. My material regularly relies on following how I naturally think, so I’m allowing myself to adapt my own announced plans.

Reorganism will be published here essay by essay as part of my regular feed, with the physical copy to be published once the path to that is more clear and manageable. My mind outruns time, and treating all of it as one rolling project prevents split attention even if the amount of effort is the same.

I’m headed out to ride. The list of upcoming essays is to follow:

Status [Handoff]– audio essay with transcription.

In All of the Ways We Resist Being Human– A longer piece on how I see society conditioning us to avoid ourselves.
