the book

How long does it take to write one book?

I’m writing. It’s messy. And it takes SO much more than you’d expect. But there will be a book. I promise.

“I miss being a monk. Not while retail therapy shopping at TJ Maxx or downing a second Moose Drool at the El Cerrito theatre, but plenty of other times, for sure. There was such ample time and space, if I could simply remember it was so. It felt luxurious, restorative, blessed. And aside from writing this book, it’s the hardest damn thing I’ve ever done.”
