  • Ep. 11: The Muse Isn’t Who You Think She Is

  • Ep. 8: Plan to Fail Gloriously and Productively!

    The planning fallacy is a phenomenon first proposed by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in 1979. Put simply, it says that people have too much optimism about the time it will take to complete something.


    Interestingly, this bias only affects your own tasks, not those of others. You know it’ll take your husband four months to build the new deck, not the weekend he somehow thinks it will. 


    But you? You think you can thumbnail your entire comic book by the end of the week. Instead, it takes you three weeks to get four pages done, and you feel like an abject failure because of it. 


    Honey, no!


    Pick those goalposts up and move those suckers!

  • Ep. 6: At the Beach House

    I can freely admit I don’t deserve to spend quiet time at a beach house. Yesterday, I sat on the edge of the world in my sparkle boots and thought exactly that. The storm was whipping up the waves, sending spray twenty feet into the air. The sound was deafening. 

    I didn’t fit in—I was so small, on a rock, on the edge of a country I don’t really understand. How did I deserve to sit right there, just when, when so many are… are not able to do the same thing. 

    The truth is: I don’t deserve it. 

    And at the same time, I do.

  • Ep. 5: Glitter Boots
    The other day, I painted my old black Frye boots silver. They’d come slightly sparkly when I’d bought them, actually. They were the gated-community version of silver. They glinted in the light, but only politely, only if you took the time to look. LISTEN FOR MORE.

  • Ep. 4: In Search of the Drift

    “Swimming is an antidote for the existential anxiety from which I suffer.” - Bonnie Tsui, Why We Swim
