The New Season
Fresh starts and big swings
Early Fall… a time that calls to mind the first weeks of grade school— the smell of new pencils in new pencil cases. Folders. Textbooks. One really bitchy teacher who, for some reason, decided to beef with an 11-year-old.
The memories…
Fall still feels like a fresh start to me. There’s the sudden rush of work as everyone returns from Summer laze and dives into— I don’t know, emailing people? I guess?
For me, this Fall means a new column on Substack, more time for drafting scripts, and a complete rejection of any and all self-consciousness that kept me from going forward boldly, without worrying about pimples or poor mental health.
Let’s see what happens.
