I've been thinking about my ZK and if it supports my dreams. I wonder if I'm feeding it appropriately. Maybe I should articulate the dream I have for my zettelkasting. "I want it to support my writing." Is this clear enough? Should I rearticulate it more concretely? What does support mean if I break it down as my stated goal?

Of course, that means that I have to start writing. Does journaling count? Part of how I've procrastinated writing is trying to automate my irregular blog posting. I've spent too much time exploring other alternatives. Automating the publishing of a post is difficult or impossible with my web host, Squarespace.

I'm currently reading:

• Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī and Gafori, Haleh Liza. Gold, Simon & Schuster. 2022.
• Ackerman, Diane. The planets: a cosmic pastoral: [poems], 1976.
• Cohen, Gerald and Cunningham, Donald H.. Creating technical manuals: a step-by-step approach to writing user-friendly instructions, HarperVia. 1984.
• Faulkner, Grant. The art of brevity: crafting the very short story, Prometheus Books. 2023.

I've told you about my week, now it's your turn to tell me about yours.
