The art of telling a story as you are living it "As if I couldn’t wait to see you, sit down, order the coffee and tell you what happened or what’s on my mind" is how I tend to go about it. I question that style with myself though. Although I tend to write like I am talking to friends, I worry I don't sound professional enough.

I appreciate you divulging how it works for you. I find similarities in how I take notes, write little blurbs, turn them into stories by elaborating on the topics I scribble down -which makes me feel more confident. Maybe I need to just start putting my writing out there, and maturing as I go.

Thanks for the kind words and shout out! For anyone scrolling the commentss, the story Rocco mentions is pretty cool, and well worth checking out.

Work-wise, I do best when it's in chunks/blocks. Not in any Pomodoro- style way, but if I know that I'll be writing from 10-1, and checking admin stuff from, say 1-3, then my day seems to flow a lot better. I need that sort of structure to be creative, which seems weird to type...

Huge +1 to conversatinal style writing as well. There's a place for objective, sterile writing, but I'm not currently in it.

P.S. That pic of the Vista Ridge tunnel is wild! I can't imagine NOT being in a car in there.
