― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

A short (fun) exercise for anyone struggling mid-manuscript:
Still think about what I learned through my personal curriculum:
Anticipation doesn’t have to mean readiness. Sometimes it just means staying in relationship with what hasn’t arrived yet.

Original text of Order-in-Council PC 1911-1324, 12 August 1911 from Libraries and Archives of Canada.

A haunted house but the ghosts are your unfinished writing projects (only able to be freed from their liminal state by you writing, which you are perhaps doing now...)
Practicing anticipation daily changed how I noticed time passing. Do you have personal ways of staying oriented to the future, or only professional ones?

A note on methodology.
My #75soft #PersonalCurriculum started with an intention, learning outcomes and practices were shaped through #EmergentDesign. Using my experience as data to iterate, document, and adjust as days passed.
