... this is me

me: i miss my wip

wip: then get back to writing

*blankly stares at page*

I've always been opposed to marking up books; writing in them, folding pages, making notes. It's the permanency I think, the same way I'm afraid to put a sticker somewhere because then it's stuck there forever.

But I also have a lot of books. And how boring will it be for my children and grandchildren to pack them up when I'm gone, boxes and boxes of impersonal books identical to a brand new copy from amazon? They won't be heirlooms, nobody will feel connected to me through them.

I'm challenging myself to leave my mark in all of them this summer. Take notes in the margins. Leave messages for future readers. Doodle illustrations. Leave something behind to be found.

i keep wanting to write but i can’t because im stopping myself somehow from writing and I don’t know if it’s because I’m scared to finish this draft or just scared of what comes after or scared that I’ll have to stop again because I feel like I never have the time but it’s awful

im writing a little bit each day but it’s not MY wip or my current project and it just gets a little bit harder

but im going to get back into it, one because i want to, and two because i owe it to myself
