Excerpts from the Notebooks

In 2017, I started a practice of keeping notes.

I wrote anything and everything in these notebooks. I kept stray ideas and scribbles, notes on everything I encountered and thought to put down in my daily experience. I now have boxes of them, all transcribed into seasonal documents.

When I left for the Watson in Fall 2019 I mostly switched to keeping the notes on my giant iPhone, and I’ve kept it up there ever since.

Here, I keep a seasonal assemblage of selected thoughts. It charts, over time, my progression as a person, and as a writer.
