A robin is my father-in-law and I’m always eating when I see one. Apt.

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

A wall of art in the autumn sun.

The only way through this never-ending self doubt is to be unapologetically nerdy and obsessed, to embrace outsider status. I want to burn the old me. Let’s shed our skins together. (Me, after one drink, trying to make new friends at a horror film festival.)

Applying this principle to other areas of my life.

Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.~Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Tomorrow is the start of the Dead Northern Horror Film Festival at the City Screen in York. I bought a weekend pass. It’s local, so a bit too easy to head home early. I should commit. Cosplay! (joke). Put my social mask on. 👺🎭🧛

This was my first Brighton flat. 1988. I didn’t own a wide angle lens so shot this in sections. Still have the books, leather chair, Blake’s death mask, the Seurat, Nick’s linocuts, white lamp, drum, duck, fish fossil & LPs including Television’s Greatest Theme Tunes. #believeinfilm #photography

'The Goblin Market’, “The Book of Fairy Poetry” by Dora Owen, Illustration by Warwick Goble, 1920. archive.org/details/book...

The scene depicts the character Laura sitting in a wooded glen surrounded by anthropomorphic, animal-faced goblin merchants offering their abundant, tempting fruits in exchange for a lock of her golden hair.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Every day this week I’ve typed up a poem by someone else before I start writing. Today’s had to be from Annie Dillard. This was published in The Atlantic in 1978. It’s gorgeous.

METAPHYSICAL MODEL WITH FEATHERS
Annie Dillard
What I know of dimension is an old suspicion:
That time is a crack as long
And thin as a wing.
Time is whole and fully fledged alwayss.
We discover its
fullness; we pace it out blindson the wing.
We live in time's quills as senseless as lice.
And the eagle--the ptrel?--and the petrel, Rock Peter walking on water, the petrel Full noiselessly flies. It plies
The created ages; it beats the boundless along, Rising without surcease, spiraling down,
Sliding breastbone bent
and feeling
The inbound curve of the real.
If time cruises the breadth of the timeless, Perpendicular, buoying its wings, then We may guess the style of the rest:
This is the shape of the one god, holy, Who generates the ages, rapt,
Who tolerates time as a hole in his side, A petrel blind and churning. This Is the one god, flailed by wings.
And this is the one time, this raveling hole Swift in god and voiceless, black beat shut.

I’m creating a new habit of driving in to York on Saturday mornings. I get a coffee, walk around the (extremely) old streets, absorb the students and tourists and locals, and imagine other lives. Then I write.
