Notes

Out loud

  1. Everything you’ll find here has taken shape with AI involved at every stage, through many decisions, revisions, and discoveries on my part. It’s been a pleasure to see it come together, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. Just so you have the full context as you explore.

  2. “And what’s your name?” “Wait, it’s on the tip of my tongue.” That is how it all began.

    — Umberto Eco, The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, trans. Geoffrey Brock

    I just love these opening lines.

  3. I cut a dear line last night and kept the one that had earned its place. It felt like a loss, and I still think it was one.

    To say something new, to say something beautiful, to say something dear. They are always competing for the light. It falls on whichever has earned it.

  4. I was reading Cat in the Rain and thinking about the iceberg theory. Is it right to leave the audience this much room?

    You mean a when you say it. Some take it as b, some as c, and some just think, What the hell is this? But yes, that’s the beauty of it.
