Declaring Yourself
Two weeks ago I self-published my first “novel.” I say that in quotations because it’s sort of a hybrid of a collection of short stories and a unified narrative from multiple POVs. So, even as I write this post and I try to celebrate my publication, you’ll see I have a lot of work to go to true self-validation. I can’t help but undercut myself even now.

“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

“The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.”
