DAYS 55, 56 (August 5th, 6th 2018)
NATURE (unfinished)
People don’t remember
the way it used to be.
The yardstick of nature
is only a foot now.
TO WALK (unfinished)
Walk in want of nothing
in the wolf-light; the way
you once wandered; weaving
each moment into the next—
a tapestry of your one
god-given self.

EXCERPT
“He had talked to Charlot, as well. She was surprised to learn that Chancellor Pye was a gracious, benevolent man.”
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!
