      Twelve Ways to Create Space to Write No Matter Where You Are

      Dec 14, 2022

      1. Turn your mind inside out. One of my favorite discoveries has been dry-erase paint. I fully painted two of my office walls, and it’s where I do my first project outlines. The temporariness of it gives me permission to be messy and the space to con

      This is how an ear looks.

      And here is a pair of knees.

      And here, a foot.

      Another ear.

      Here is an eye.

      Look at this human’s eye.

      Then, a mouth.

      A mouth.

      And another mouth.

      Jorgen Leth, ‘The Perfect Human’

      Day 1

      Talked to the dog about the price of eggs. Walked out the door and into the hall. Met a woman there. Wearing a backpack and holding extra books. Saw to it that the office was cleared out. Afterward so and so and so and so. The day began at 7:00. Took a long nap and then out. And then out. And then out to find bread for a meal. A meal for two people, who are not well-liked. At all. Didn’t like the food. Much too much of it was green and grainy. Felt too grainy in the mouth, chewing and swallowing grain, like dirt, and then swallowing again and drinking water in gulps to wash it down, to remove the memory of that texture of grain. And then pretending to like red wine. And then considering whether or not to confess the dislike of red wine. Then deciding against it. Then considered speaking about something else. But then talked about a film that people think is worthwhile. Ended by finishing the meal, eating it all in punishment. For agreeing to eat this meal at all. For agreeing to attend this meal. To look at two people across a table and put food into the mouth at the same time, and sometimes to talk while doing these two things as well. Crossing the legs under the table, then uncrossing them, shifting weight on the hard wooden chair. Deciding the whole time when and when not to look into that person’s eye.

      Day 2

      Woke up with an itch. In the eye. Which led to another sort of sensation. Drew a blank when asked how Indian names work. Is the name listed in the middle the middle name. This question
