Last month, I took to reading one H. P. Lovecraft tale each day. Took to writing afterward too, capturing his voice and style in ways I’d come to appreciate like a ritual—a communion with the page. The pattern of it, predictable, dependable. But done till October, the project quiet now, and something’s been taken with it. I still write, sure. VIKINGS vs SAMURAI is about the comic book and everything related to it. My journal is where I capture moments and process my thoughts and feelings. But what will bring that same purpose to the blank screen now? What will drive the words?
This is what I’m left to reckon with in the weeks, or months, ahead.
