I’ll keep the writing short today, which is not my strong suit. And I have a lot to say, but not the energy at the moment. I decided (like obsession is a decision) to knock out the end of this book, and the last chapters are massive and daunting. Earlier today, I finished the second-to-last, […]

After a long hiatus, I promise we’re back for good. I’m going to try for a schedule of every 2-3 weeks for the rest of the year as I get back on my feet. I hate writing books—it’s painful, torturous, sadomasochistic. There are reasons that writers drink; it’s a compulsive, painful experience of stamina. I’m
