First taco is on me. I just wrote this note: “I just finished a 3rd draft of an 11,000 word essay that I keep trying to scale down. I guess it needs to be this long (1st draft was 2,000 words longer). It has been the most emotionally challenging essay I have ever written. I feel both satisfied that it is so close to being done and also feel as if I cannot write another thing ever.”
Thank you for continually putting out there what I need to read. Each piece truly impacts me — either with the content or the craft. Hell, I may buy you a second taco even on my retired teacher budget!
The actor Michael Caine recounts the story of an acting class he took long ago. When it came time to enter the scene, he discovered that a chair was blocking his way to the stage. "USE THE BLOODY CHAIR, MICHAEL!" shouted the director.
"What about your sustenance, sister?" Found mine today in a little poem about a night owl Icarus -- thank you for the encouragement and inspiration in this essay!

I’m currently having to write sentences of hope and yes it sure does hurt.
