Everything, by date. Titled entries are the longer ones.

29Hello World 27Fog sat on the street until almost noon. Took one photo the whole day and it's the only thing I made that I'd keep.27Rain all afternoon. Didn't leave the desk once and don't regret a minute of it.26Spent the morning rereading things I wrote three years ago. The strange part isn't that they're bad, most of them are fine, it's that I can't remember being…24The list of questions I can't answer yet3 min 22A good bookshop is a search engine that occasionally argues with you.22Two hours debugging. The bug was a comma.18Started keeping a list of questions I can't answer yet. It's the only document I've ever kept that gets more interesting the longer it gets. Everything else I…14Someone asked what this site is for. Nothing, really. It's a place to put sentences that don't need to go anywhere else, which turns out to be most of them.11Walked the long way home because the short way had nothing worth looking at.

The recipe is the one everybody uses, so the variable was never the recipe.17Every plan I make for the summer assumes a version of me with more energy than the one writing it down.12Threw out the draft and kept one sentence. Good trade.9Cold snap out of nowhere. The window fogs from the inside now, which makes the street look like a memory of itself.2Nobody warns you that the hard part of a quiet month is explaining it afterwards.

28Long train, no signal, one book. The best afternoon I've had in weeks and I did nothing to earn it.20Rewrote the footer of this site for the fourth time. Nobody has ever mentioned the footer.15What I stopped measuring2 min 9Woke at five for no reason and watched the light arrive from the wrong side of the room.3A friend described their job in one sentence and I've been quietly jealous of the clarity all week.

30Moved the desk two feet to the left and the whole room reads differently. Cheapest change I've made all year.21Kept a note open for six days without adding to it. Some sentences want a week before they'll finish.12First warm evening. Everyone in the neighbourhood outside at once, like a rule had been lifted.5Started this site properly. No plan for it, which is the plan.
