My Workshop

I often start writing by hand in a small Smythson diary. I prefer “The Panama” size. When I can’t stop thinking about an entry in my “Panama,” I edit that entry and transfer it to a midpoint—My Workshop. And sometimes, but only sometimes, entries into My Workshop evolve and graduate into an entry in a book, at which point I delete them from My Workshop.

Here you will find rough drafts. Works in progress. Things I thought independently or read from others. Things I wanted to preserve. Things to remember. These may never make it into one of my books, but they too have formed and shaped me somehow. By offering up these rough drafts, I hope you might be inspired to find your own unique creative process, too.
