The Missouri River runs through a canyon from 12 o'clock to 8 o'clock while two white trappers with mules receive directions from an indigenous man while his traveling & hunting partner holds their horses and watches over the situation from behind and up the hillside.

Watercolor painting of a man in faded overalls and a brown fedora hat smoking a cigarette without a shirt while pushing a faded red mower and pointing behind him as if giving audible directions to someone who has pulled over to ask. The ground is light grass green, the sky is dusk golden yellow and orange.

'Topical' goes bad faster than bananas. Thats why *most* of the jokes in Airplane! don't land anymore (geddit? eeeyyy) With this in mind, its something authors writing fiction should really avoid. Topical is the enemy of timeless.

He is best known for his short stories Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Irving spent years in Europe, reading old fairy tales in hopes of patching together new stories for readers back in the U.S. A high-ranking American official in Spain invited Irving to Madrid where the author could look over reams of documents on the Spanish conquest of the Americas. Using these and other sources, and a few of his own creative liberties, Irving wrote a well-received history of Christopher Columbus and other explorers chartered by Spain to colonize the New World. It was Irving’s flair for the dramatic that gave us the myth that European explorers believed the world was flat. Irving is also believed to be the writer who first gave New York City the nick-name of “Gotham.” It’s an old Anglo-Saxon term meaning “Goat’s Town.”

A painting of Washington Irving by John Wesley Jarvis, 1809

“Great minds have purpose, others have wishes.”

-American writer Washington Irving, born on this day in 1783

The best table in the room faces the pizza oven.

I sat alone, watched the chef, the communal tables, and let the wine do its slow, necessary damage. Time seemed to liquify, and I was lost in the monent.

It was a performance of human interaction and culinary magic.

It gives me time. I can live with a character for months, years, digging deeper into who they are than I ever could in a few weeks of rehearsal.

And it gives me permanence. The performance ends, but the story stays.

Pristine gear has no soul; wear is proof of a life fully lived. These are the artifacts of a storyteller. Patina is the only trophy that matters. The more scratches on the leather, the better the stories in the journal. Every faded mark is a memory to keep. #Storyteller #Patina #Adventure

A thin, white-haired, pale preacher in a black suit jacket and slightly faded black suit pants, white shirt and black tie brings a fiery message with his Bible extended in his hand at the end of one arm and a balled up fist at the other. A blue and green stained glass window is behind him. His head is tilted towards heaven as he makes his impassioned plea to the congregation.

I'm honestly almost kinda mad at how much I'm enjoying Dungeon Crawler Carl. It's so self indulgent, the premise is so incredibly stupid- but I'm completely fucking hooked despite those facts.

So many valuable #insights. So many unique #perspectives. But no single approach is The Way.

You’re a #storyteller, not a Mandalorian. Any attempt to believe “This is The Way” is doomed.

YOU create The Way for your #stories.

Here’s an update on ‘Thomas’. Yesterday afternoon I put some alle test in, from the excellent Slaughterhouse Tap Room. After a VERY exciting, bubbling, today Thomas is a little calmer. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen … IT LIVES! More lightning! #frankenwine #homebrew #storyteller

You can’t write a character you don’t understand. You have to live in their head. See the world through their eyes. Love what they love. Fear what they fear.

Dinner for one.

Sit alone at the best table in the room. Face the oven. Watch the work. Let the wine do its slow, necessary damage. If you’ve never taken yourself out to dinner like you matter, start there.

You learn who you are when no one’s performing for you.

There’s a through line between acting and writing that I didn’t see at first.

It’s not about performance. It’s not about pretending.

It’s about empathy. Understanding.
