"...within a year these pieces were all Navidson had left -- Karen and the children a mere blur racing down the staircase, the pointillism of their pets' paw prints caught on the dew covered lawn, or the house itself, an indefinite shimmer, sitting quietly on the corner of Succoth and Ash Tree Lane, bathed in afternoon light."

House of Leaves is slow going, but rewarding. So atmospheric. The two narrative voices are distinct. And there are moments of lovely visual prose.

But now, my projects are more complex and I need input from multiple people. This makes my lack of focus and executive dysfunction a much bigger problem.

I didn't develop ADHD in my 30s. My workarounds and ways of hiding stopped working.

This is something I've experienced, starting in my late 30s. Until then, in my professional life, I could do almost everything myself. Therefore, I could fuck around, and let my hyperfocus kick in near the deadline, and crank out something as good as most people did in a week.

To be clear, the fuck around stage involved me researching, thinking, and processing, which allowed that push to be effective.

During a series of artist residencies at national parks, Jym Davis started making papier mâché masks of a misunderstood animal: the bat.

Great #Halloween inspiration

Oh wow.

She just found out that there have been at least 25 confirmed deaths from a location less than 2 miles away.

Friend of mine in Vero Beach, whose property has never flooded, was up to her waist tonight as they headed to the shelter during tornado warnings.

They emerged to find their neighbor's roof a few feet away.

I've read that it's been the second worst outbreak of tornadoes in the US.
