Haves and wants, home

Mountain chalet
This was a temporary HQ in mid-September 2024. We had both rooms.

The saying goes like this…

We always want what we can’t have.

What if the saying was re-engineered…

We always have what we can’t want.

That reengineered sentence doesn’t resonate with me in any obvious way. Kinda like the way today’s blog titles didn’t fully go where i thought they might.

The “Summer 2024” blog experiment seems to have slowly morphed into a new style of writing, driven simply from trying to efficiently scale the admin side of the blogging effort.

Noteworthy: When blog titles are generic, like “Sperry Day One, mind”, the topic can be anything — ton of flexibility. When blog titles are not generic, like today’s titles focusing on a contrast between haves and wants, the title suggests you stay in that lane. This is a new discovery and new creative opportunity.

From a college classroom during a campus tour.

Simple page starters.

  • Once upon a time there was…
  • Every day…
  • One day…
  • Because of that…
  • Because of that…
  • Until finally…

Simple.

Powerful.

Over-complicating things ensures overwhelm, anxiety, and frustration.

Writing experiment hunches

4-second video: How to kill your joy.

Writing experiment hunches:

  • Morning writing is generally better for daily 5-a-day.
  • Afternoon writing is better when writer’s flood hits.

Been flowing in and out of both, depending on the day, week, etc.
