Still slowly progressing through writing this book. I’m not pushing and I’m not fighting the self-deadlines I continue to push back :). I’m working multiple other projects. There is more to life than commitments to oneself. #life #writing

“if life ian’t trying to kill you, you’re hiding from it.” #writing
