Trying to become a writer. The plan? Flail around in public until enough people get together to help me figure out how. Come follow the awkward journey.

Been working from home all winter with these guys keeping me company, so the separation anxiety when I dropped them off at boarding for a long weekend was *unreal*.

Substack post time. This one is about the protagonist for the Black Tree project. Take a look, if you'd like. https://t.co/GUWC58qul1

I’m going to lie to you Twitter and tell you I baked this. It was definitely not my amazing girlfriend, and I definitely did not eat a corner of it before she could take a picture. Definitely.

I want to get these posts out there so I can pin them and let them be reference points for the long journey still ahead. How much will stay the same, how much will we leave behind? Come along to find out.

Time for another Substack post. In this one, I detail just what it is I'm actually writing about for one of my projects, Black Tree. This week, setting, next week, characters.

Why is it that as soon as one idea/project starts gaining traction, suddenly there’s a whole new more tantalizing idea just begging you to forget all about the current one? The brainstorm phase is the most fun part!

Dear weather, there is too much snow. The dog is very nearly on the roof. Please stop snowing. Please.

I've posted part two of my Lone Navigator exercises over on my substack. These exercises are taken from "Steering the Craft" be Urusula K. Le Guin, and I plan on going through all ten.

Gizmo is as depressed about the coming snow storm as I am. He is not a snow dog. Maybe he’d like it more if I got him doggie booties… 🤔

Why is it *so* satisfying to be the first set of footprints after a fresh snow?

That snow pile is at least seven feet tall. There’s another storm coming too with two more feet of snow. Where do I even shovel it to anymore?!

Ah, yes, nothing quite as wonderful as walking out your front door and seeing a massive mountain of snow blocking your front door.

In the last year, Substack has transformed. It's gone from a solid newsletter publishing tool to a dynamic network powered by unique flywheels. I'm bullish. In the next +5 yrs, Substack will become the dominant way media businesses build and scale. https://t.co/FPErfsnT3u

The $650 million startup isn’t a newsletter platform – it’s a multi-media network and cultural powerhouse.

The Lone Navigator pieces are just one component of my substack. The other posts will revolve around me trying to (very publicly!) figure out how to become a writer. I have a long ways to go! Come along for the ride.

At this point, of course, it's just my friends who are reading, but all are invited. I am slowly working my way through all ten exercises in Steering the Craft and sharing my pieces as I finish them.
