I’m very interested in this. This strikes me as being somewhat similar to David Whyte’s “conversational nature of reality” idea which has been a powerful frame of reference for me.
There’s another book - “The Enigma of Reason” - that has really shifted my mindset on putting myself in unfamiliar settings where I don’t know how things are going to go, and this is giving me some echoes of that as well.
Ooooh, just read the description of Enigma of Reason, and man this goes hard: "Reason, we are told, is what makes us human, the source of our knowledge and wisdom. If reason is so useful, why didn’t it also evolve in other animals? If reason is that reliable, why do we produce so much thoroughly reasoned nonsense?" That's an insta-purchase from me 🫡
Also, heck yeah! David Whyte's work is what opened the door to this whole conversational frame for me. He's probably the biggest influence here, along with Stephen Nachmanovitch, whose book Free Play is my creativity bible.
Oh, I'm not doing any live video or anything like that. I imagine that would be pretty boring and tedious to watch. Also would def make me extra self-conscious lol.
The plan is to publish all the raw ingredients as I unearth them, and share early roughly formed drafts/sketches and show how it evolves into something coherent over time.

Very intrigued!

So when will this live writing be?

I see, looking forward to hearing more about the project as it goes.
