Joseph made it to the next town and found a different horse trader who said that the Mr.Carnell was only an hour out from town which is the closest Joseph had gotten k catching up to his horse. Just before him and Ahkee could leave ahkee ran into some familiar faces.

Mrs Davidsons husband came back and thanked the boys and then they left. He said the title of the book.

They got cooked by the waters

He met the Indian chief who was very kind. He fed them, gave them shelter and a canoe to travel throughout a river. Before going Joseph stumbled upon his moms and sisters grave where he sobbed but ahkee came over said some things softly in a kind voice and Joseph appreciated him a lot and they got on their way.

Ahkee whacked him with the shovel, and then they tied him up and tortured him by threatening to burn his money. They found out he sold Sara and now they’re on their journey again to catch up to her.

Okay, so Joseph beat the Indian tribe from a race, they were going to the next town and ahkee kept falling off the horse they got to borrow for winning. Alittle past halfway there ahkee realized he lost his black bird and Joseph being kind went back to help him search for it. They found it and built a stronger bond and went to the next city. After that they went to the town and turns out Ezra miller is there.

Ah-Kee got down from the storm that he and Joseph were on and TALKED DOWN THE BEAR. WHAT A G. Anyways they were on the way to a town when they found an injured Indian in the forest and helped him get back to camp. At the camp they found out that the man they were looking for Ezra bishop just passed by and took more horses through winning a horse race. Now Joseph is gonna race to try and borrow a horse.

Basically. Mr Grissom sold joshes horse Sarah and Joseph starts his journey to get her back. So he takes the money that Mr Grissom got from selling Sarah and his father’s gun and left. Leaving town he ran into mr. Franklin gave him a pep talk and encouraged him to stay safe and to keep a hold of his gun and sent him off with pancakes and pork.

Something stood out to me in this reading session. It’s called how to choose. It was talking about how when there is multiple choices how to pick. It talked about AB testing and the coin flip test and which one you actually want to happen seeps out more. And how not to worry about all the possibilities because you have nothing to compare it to. There’s no what if because it has to happen parallel.

We talked about the creative process. Things such as breaking the rules and just trying something new. Uhh we talked about the experimenter and the finisher and how one takes a while to try things and the other pushes things out.

This section talked about the point of view of creating the art and how different points of view can make different outcomes

We talked about seeds. And how we’ll find seeds of inspiration and not sure which is right to try and put more attention into. But also that if we collect more seeds that we will have a better chance and opportunity to pick one that is right for us

We talked about inspiration and how how if we strike it, we should ride the wave of inspiration for as long as we can until it runs out. Then we move onto habits where we habits and discipline go hand in hand in the creative process.

The beginners mind was actually a goated chapter. It talked about go and how an Ai without any knowledge just the base rules taught itself and beat a grandmaster. But it was because it was experiencing for the first time instead of preconceived notions and norms.

I’m so lost in the book. I think I have to look into the side I’m not working on?

This book is so hard to read. This is like cryptic English. I think that it says the world gives us signs to how to counter our art or inspires it in a way. And that artists live, and use living to make art?

Everything in love as it happens is art. If we don’t act on our art or thing we want to do or creates it happens elsewhere

I liked this chapter about Identity adaptation. It said to keep your identity small because then you aren’t able to move as the world moves. And maybe that’s why when I fail at something aligned with my identity I crash and burn.

I’m not sure if I like this one. Our genes tell us what area we should focus on? That we are destined to be good in some areas instead of others and that you need to play your strengths? I get that to an extent but also I’m a believer that you can become great at anything you try your best in.

The most satisfying feeling is making progress. A habit tracker js that way.

Make it difficult to do bad habits. Make it such an inconvenience to do the thing that you won’t do it at all.
