What to Write
I find myself still caught in the quarantine funk, trapped by inertia, creeping feelings of claustrophobia and paralysis, unable to take the next creative steps. Work - as easy and part-time and comfortable as it is - offers no outlet, and can only be strung out in advance so long. What to replace it with that holds redeeming value, with the Brier Island reverie in tatters (fortunately!) and little by way of other ideas?
The MFA sits as a natural outlet starting next June, a path to the publication of a non-fiction book. But what is that book? What... How to actually come up with a popular title that can be pitched and sold that is not simply about you as a lawyer vagabond? How to find topics and tales that will above all get published? Or is there another path instead?
Let’s dream further. It is time to write up the Zanzibar story. First draft effort at least. See what it looks like. Go from there.
PS. 🐸 Pond Found tonight, as well as the Octagon on North Mountain. Idea? Idea?
