Dual Nose

Journal:
I'm thinking about dividing this writing section into a journal section and a free write section because I've been flip flopping between the two. I've been reluctant to start any new things as it has been difficult to keep up with the demand of this project while doing all the other things that real life requires. But I think splitting this up might prompt an easier entry to writing rather than the open page. I'm trying to find that sweet spot in creating that goes between restriction and freedom.

Rainy day all day here in Boston. Horrible 40 degree rain. Weirdly enough it was wonderful running weather.

Today's also a funny day for my fast/exercise challenge because my calculated goal comes out to an even 400 base for everything. (40 fasting days, 40,000 words, etc.) It's neat to see it line up so nice and recognize where improvement needs to happen. More talk on that on Wednesday.

Free Write:
Archaic hurt in the deep of nasal passages
sears a chain of earlier pains.
And in that reactionary intensity,
I squirm and flail
like a captured rodent.
No escape from the touch
of the old film reel,
spooling out hangnail travesties,
shins skinned and cold popsicles
on tender teeth.

Ouch.
 
Haiku of the Day:
Mediative silence
permeates the core membrane
and stops the bleeding

Today's Drawing (inspired by the word "Rife" from MW's word of the day. It mean abundant or common.)



Today's "365" Project (Make something that fits in or around the nose. A return to fun with paper clips!)
"Paper Clip Pince-nez"
