This Is the First One
Notes from the middle of making things
I keep waiting for the right way to start this.
A reason. A plan. A clean explanation.
None of that showed up, so I’m starting anyway.
This blog isn’t here to teach anything or pretend I’ve arrived somewhere. It’s a place to put things that don’t fit neatly anywhere else. Thoughts that linger. Half-formed ideas. Notes from the middle of making something, not the end of it.
Some posts might be about art or music. Some might be about what it feels like to be inside the process instead of presenting the result. Some might just be me trying to pin something down long enough to look at it.
I should say this up front. Sometimes I use generative tools as part of how I work. Not instead of thinking. Not instead of feeling. They sit alongside sketchbooks, drafts, rewrites, wrong turns, and starts that don’t go anywhere. They help me move when my body or brain won’t cooperate the way I want them to.
If that bothers you, I get it. Truly. Everyone draws their own lines around creativity. I won’t judge how you make things. Please don’t judge how I make mine.
I don’t promise consistency. I don’t promise polish.
I do promise that whatever lands here mattered enough to interrupt my day.
If you’re reading this, you didn’t miss anything. This is the beginning, and beginnings are usually quieter than people expect.
I’ll leave the rest open.
