@wion omg. Pine nuts are worth more than gold! That was an amazing heist! Celebratory pesto?

@jakelacaze I once read something along the lines of writing through the 10,000 words of garbage to get to the good stuff, so I now look at the struggle as getting me that much closer to the reward

@cb I still rip CDs!

@lowbrow The Waterman's is solid but the jar is the real treat!

@lowbrow Waterman is out? Because it's erasable? That's my daily driver

Me: I need to leave in two minutes. This is an appropriate time to update a machine you haven't used in months.

My old machine: Hahaha! Zzzzzzzz

@jakelacaze For me, it's done when I'm completely sick of it and never want to see it again.

@jakelacaze @lowbrow I've been hard-core since I saw this exhibit on Thoreau, who was amazingly dedicated to journaling: https://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/thoreau

BTW, @jakelacaze, I loved your memory/journaling blog post. It was fantastic.

@omgubuntu it worked!

@bryanalexander @dajbelshaw use the hash tags and search the hash tags

@bryanalexander @dajbelshaw don't give up, but finding your community here takes time. It's much more gradual than Twitter

Very excited to be interviewed for The Plain Text Project: https://t.co/2C6stn2G6a
It's essential reading if you want to hear me go on about document formatting, which, sadly, is one of my passions.

@jakelacaze it's good but it's also the plot of Joker.

@jakelacaze and also King of Comedy!

@jakelacaze I forgot it was 12 weeks, too. I mostly liked the morning pages concept.

@jakelacaze Julia Cameron Wants You to Do Your Morning Pages: https://nyti.ms/2UwJicc

@jakelacaze it's amazing. But she has a concept called Morning Pages, where you journal three pages in the morning, to kind of empty your brain. It's a book about making art and the morning pages help to get the art out.

@jakelacaze I feel like handwritten journaling has changed my brain for the better. Have you read The Artist's Way?

@C_kevin Yeah. It's definitely still a work in progress!
