Here for the readers and writers and the lovers of art, prose, poetry, magic, and musing. What are you working on this week?

My writing focus this week is on assignments for schoolwork, on developing my thoughts around The Heartsong Review and social media before adding a new essay to the substack this month, and on participation in online creative writing groups. 1/

It’s Labor Day Monday in the US, and I’ve been reading about the history of its origin in the labor movement and unionizing, which led to an 8-hour—in the factory—work day, down from a 10-16-hour work day.

I spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about how to take care of what must be done today in order to land in the tomorrow I’m wanting, for the remainder of the semester, while keeping within reasonable limits that support sustained effort. 2/

And I’m looking at consistent 8-hour, must-be-done-today, work days with +2 hours each day on creative writing.

I’m happy with this, and, bonus, it fits with Labor Day. /3
