I am totally engrossed in this book on climbing and mountaineering! The title is a bit deceiving- this book is about much more than the one single achievement of Alex Honnold climbing El Capitan- I'm half way through the book and so far that climb has only been mentioned a few times. And for me, that is not only not a problem, I'm actually quite thrilled to be reading all these other great adventuresome stories. Great book!

The author discusses some foundational principles that would help a scattered artists find more focus, or rather remove any blocks.
I plan to reread it when I feel like a scattered artist.

I'm enjoying it. I'm reading authors I haven't known, and I'm looking at forms in different ways. Very interesting.

Ahhh, thanks for posting this Lou!
I wanted a photo that kind of represented the idea of salvaging what I though were the better little pieces I'd written from amidst the pile of drek (lol) and figured a shot from a salvage yard might work. I went to this place asked the owner if I could take a photo of part of his yard and he gave me this puzzled look and just kind of stared at me for a minute and finally said, "Well OK, just don't get any of the license plates in your pictures."
I told him, "Yes sir, thanks so much!"

For several years now, I've taken to sticking 3x5 yellow lined post-its and sticking them in the back of books I read as a place to jot down pages numbers and brief notes for things that appeal to me or that I want to refer back to. I just finished reading James Bishop Jr's Epitaph For a Desert Anarchist: The Life and Legacy of Edward Abbey. I guess you could say I was rather engaged in this most excellent book, lol!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Despite having worked in bookstores (mostly with my wife at hers) for over twenty years, there are always writers- sometimes prolific writers- I come across for whom I had known little or even nothing. Charles Bowden is such a writer. I had known about Bowden from a documentary in which he spoke about his friend, Edward Abbey, but I did not know he had written some 28 books. So when his The Red Caddy came to my attention, I knew it was time to become acquainted with his work, and this book is an excellent introduction to that work!
Last night, I wrote this on a post-it in the back of the book about Bowden's writing: "I generally like good, straight ahead story-telling prose-- only, that which shows rather than tells. I also generally do not like clever or convoluted or showy prose that seeks to be different, hip, cool, or overly fancy. However, Charles Bowden does often write outside the lines, but never for too long. He always draws you back in, and soon you begin to see that he is painting a bigger or more expansive and always more interesting picture."

Cool view into how life was over there from a woman coffee farmer's perspective.
Beautifully written
