The cool things about big, vague projects, is you have to figure them out as you go. There's no way to plan for all the details at the beginning.

My One Square Mile writing project has been like that. I didn't know what I would spend a year writing about, but I hoped if I spent enough time paying attention to the land, ideas would arise.

Never thought I'd write an essay about rocks, but here we are:

Just put a record on loud and listen. It’s beautiful.

@Jozz_is_online @SVG__Collection What an album! I've played it twice already, there's so much going on to listen to.

Kind of reminds me of Sketches of Spain, for how it just transports you to this entirely different world.

Thank you again for the recommendation! Now I just need to find it on vinyl.

@Jozz_is_online @SVG__Collection Wonderful, thank you! I'll throw it on today.

"The best way to complain is to make good stuff" from @ThisIsSethsBlog post today.

Anytime you're frustrated, just keep focusing on the quality of your work. Make it your north star and you won't be led astray.

@NickDiFabio1 Would you want to read the books you publish?

Anna Karenina. A glass of bourbon. A few cigarillos.

What else could you need?

Highly recommend finding a few poems to memorize.

Adds so much beauty to your day and nothing is more enjoyable than walking through a park reciting poetry to yourself.

[Joel J Miller @joeljmiller]

Poetry is out of fashion because work is out of fashion. Not labor—we're all exhausted. But slowing down, rereading, turning a word over three times to find what's underneath. Prose lets you set the pace. Poetry interrupts. And what if that’s the point? https://t.co/ek3FFKk18b

You do not need an original ideas to draw every day. Make studies of the world around you: draperies, light, colours, objects, people. Then, once a brilliant idea does strike, your skills and mental library will be so developed you won’t struggle with execution.

@joeljmiller @JosephBottum Silence has really stuck with me over the years but I never thought to look into more of his work. Funny how you can just totally overlook things.

Excited to read the samurai, thanks again for the recommendation.

[Here With Ron @HereWithRon]

@joeljmiller @JosephBottum No, completely unfamiliar. I’m going to order it now, thank you!

[Here With Ron @HereWithRon]

@joeljmiller @JosephBottum Children of Men and Silence are the two book/movie combos that are both individually great.

@packyM I look forward to your email every week! This was a great one.

“The poet’s way of life should be so simple”—Emerson’s enduring wisdom—“that the most ordinary influences gladden him.” Emerson's advice is so simple that it never goes out of date.

[Here With Ron @HereWithRon]

@PicoIyer Spending more time walking around slowly, trying to pay attention to the wealth of small, beautiful details.

Can't say it's made life simple, but I look forward to those moments all day.
