I be consistently inconsistently writing and that’s how consistent I am at my craft, alright?

interview with a ferryman on aliveness, pt. I

“to be alive is to
hold
as much as you can
knowing that the smallest
wave, the smallest
swell, the smallest
ripple can tip
your boat.
to be alive is to
trust
that your anchor
clings on,
still
even when you can’t
see it.”

It’s hard to deceive yourself when the signs are right there. Will you choose to see them and act accordingly? that’s the real question.

I can’t wait for someone to grant me my own freedom. I must give it to myself.

The commentary and play on life and death, time and memory, and judgement and feeling 🌀 sublime!

First of all, the difference between the mood of the opening theme song and the actual plot is wild af. How you go from ✌🏽💃🏽🕺🏽🪩✨ in the opener and 🎯🔪🩸☠️ in the story?!

Been watching a this new anime I stumbled upon called “Death Parade” and oooo I just love me an anime with a good theological arc 😈 lemme put my divinity school degree to use 🤭

I’m not sure how I want to engage this platform yet, but this feels right and noncommittal so I’m just gonna let it happen okay byyyeeeee

What I love about writing is that there are literally a bajillion ways to approach the craft. There are still a bajillion things that I don’t know about myself as a writer and that’s a beautiful fucking thing in a world obsessed with permanence.

But in shifting to the play format, instead of agonizing over how I want to paint a scene with my words, I can just intuitively feel it out and put stage directions instead 😮 which gives the work creative freedom to live in new ways off the page, or based on how someone’s reading the script

Being in my MFA program has taught me that I tend to get REALLY bogged down in the details— so much so that my story can get lost in my attempts to describe something in non relevant ways

My partner recommended that I approach this new fiction piece that I’ve been crafting like a play instead and OMFG the shifts in how my brain approaches writing?!

now that y’all can see we’re set up for another pandemic that’s already gutting our food supply (just as our new presidential administration plans to deregulate it even further), folks need to look to the pandemic survival resources marginalized folks have been compiling since COVID began…

TELL THE STORY. TELL THE STORY.

On this day… I want to remind us of the message that came down to me from the Mothers. May it encourage you today.

“I am entering into this year with newfound determination to not be distracted by the enemy's crossfire.

I am seeking to delegitimize political systems of violence and oppression. I am seeking to legitimize the politics of my own heart.”
