Totally hear you. The first enterprise, when we're back to anything, feels really challenging, and I'm sure it's on a whole different level once you've been in the early stages of parenthood. All that said, though, there's such a richness with the project that you shared in such an inventive and open way here on Substack - & I think that when you have allowed a project to have its tissues linked with a platform, it creates a history & depth with your readers that’s rare. Excited for your next steps — especially in discovering your work only in the months before the wee laddie arrived! Hope you’re having a great week Matthew, Jim
Man I’m happy for you - and inspired by you - on so many levels. I started an undergraduate degree last year, four months after our daughter was born… I’m so glad that I did t listen to the parents who told me to give up on my creative dreams when I became a dad!
Totally! I don't know what it is, but becoming a dad, for me, has been an experience of dream distillation. They're more intense than ever, and attending to them has never felt so critical.
Welcome back! Circuit bending 🤯
It's honestly heaven for my inner child.
Welcome back Pal — and great newsletter to return with! Jim
Thanks, Jim! That first one had a lot of static friction. It feels good to get the wheels turning again.
