The most effective editing move is still the one I stole from George Saunders: read your draft over and over and over again, out loud, until you have to fix the bad parts because you will literally die if you have to read them more time

Day 18
Black-billed Magpies stay with us year round and seem to thrive in the winter! They often appear black and white, but a frosty winter day was perfect for it to show off its beautiful iridescence!

Writing is a lot like weight training. You won't be able to lift a lot at first. You start small. Short session, light weights. Day by day though you get just a *little* stronger. Eventually your sessions get longer, the bars get heavier, and everyone says "I could never do that." Just like you did.

Vaccines don't cause autism.
Autism is genetic. Autistics are wired differently and have been around for over 200k years. You need us. All efforts to eradicate us are genocidal impulses.
So let your kids get vaccines and not die of smallpox or polio or whatever.

People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

I see them every day, but I try not to take for granted how beautiful blue jays are, especially in winter. 🌿🪶

Just manage TODAY.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
Don't get sucked into trying to handle tomorrow's choices or re-litigate yesterday's decisions.
Your trauma recovery happens in the decisions you make TODAY.
Your "parts" need your patience, compassion, & presence TODAY.

A portrait of a bluejay I have gotten to know over the years that she has visited my garden. I like how she glows in this photo.
