You have to be in a position to be calm and comfortable and keep a clear head. No writing or efficiency advice works if you do not establish this first. It is trickier than one would think and I did not know this before I first lost this kind of situation — did not know … More Ya lo he dicho
And if I were in Mexico or en ville, I would surely not merely be hoping to see my first Amat Escalante film, but seeing his latest, coming at the current film from a different direction. ♦ The tone of standard academic advice is all about discipline and limitation, as well as “self-protection.” It is … More Amat Escalante
I would honestly like to watch this and I must find a way to do so. Axé.
Like the people who have to want to stop drinking and must make the decision themselves, or the people I know now who are going to have to decide, themselves, to learn to use certain software (or not), I feel I must decide to want to improve my experience at and of work. I always … More You have to want…
That was the really important thing I heard. Also, unmanageable situations cannot simply be managed. To write you must have a manageable situation and you must not have renounced your core. No amount of discipline or control or “passion” can substitute these things. You have to have a clear mind, and you cannot have had … More “Don’t give up your core”

I would like to see this exhibit and this one, described here. In the future I will do such things. We learned very well how to limit and hobble ourselves but we are again unlearning, unlearning more. #OccupyHE Axé.
To write you do not in fact have to “be passionate” or some such thing and in fact I prefer not to be — I greatly prefer calm. I think that the idea that “if you were interested enough, you would overcome anything” is a version of the artist-in-a-garret ideal. You have to feel well … More Un aliado
…por decirlo así; dulces y tristes son y huele todo a pasado y a cosas que no volverán. I keep seeing things more clearly. Getting unmoored. (That is a good image.) Using all my resources to attack and destroy the person I had been while still attempting to function as that person, as was required. … More Últimas tardes con Teresa
To write one needs money and a room of one’s own, it is said, but I say one needs access to self, a clean and well lit space (or an otherwise adequately comfortable one), and peace of mind. Without these things no methodologies apply — even those which do otherwise, like Archambeau’s. Today’s reading indicates … More Virginia Woolf
