100 Day Project Three – Day 13

DAY 13 (June 24th, 2018)

DRAWING A CIRCLE

I drew a circle to find
that God dwells
in the beginning
and the end—
not in the fiery score
seething from the orchestral pit,
foretold in dreams,
to which my desperate soul
listened in vain for meaning.


The grotesque quality of everyday life conceals from you a real misery of the passions.
    —Barnave

EXCERPT

Burt considered that. She’s an expert with expert knowledge. That could, in fact, be useful.

The 100 Day Project

The 100 Day Project is a creativity excavation. It’s about unearthing dormant or unrealized creativity by committing to a daily practice everyday for 100 days.
Creativity is a skill. The more we practice, the more skilled we become. Practice takes time. Practice takes commitment. Practice is a radical act in this speeded up world. Through practice, we develop a creative habit. Through habit, we reconnect with and know ourselves again as a creative being.

I started this, my third, 100 Day Project on June 12th, 2018. My project is to write at least one first-draft stanza inspired by a poem, a quote, an idea, a painting—anything, really (or nothing at all) and to write at least one hundred shitty first-draft words of my novel. I’ll post the results here.

Enjoy!
