Gone in a flash. Woke up the next morning horrified, but it was too late.

7 years ago, I quit drinking and started rebuilding my writing career from scratch.

I'm still nowhere near where I could have been. But I'm getting there.

I built a tool called Kerouac to help me track my writing and publishing across my blog, Substack, Medium etc.

Just seeing the activity graph light up reminds me - I'm rebuilding.

Having to consider baggage (emotional or physical) can sometimes hinder you.

Love the ascetic and the insights. Just signed up for the trial. Does it / will it have a way to handle COPE / POSSE?
