Good morning Juicers,

OK, has anyone else been contemplating black holes and spacetime like I have this week?? I recently listened to a podcast about them and my mind was properly blown. In my attempt to comprehend them, I’ve probably blazed through a documentary’s worth of YouTube videos. I realize I could’ve watched one good documentary and emerged with better understanding instead of patchworking low-budget uploads from ScienceWhiz99 or Far_Out_Man but I digress…

As a writer, metaphors tend to be my best tool for aiding comprehension, so my mind couldn’t help but draw the following connections:

• Writing this novel is like my personal all-consuming black hole. It sucks my time, my brain power, and I’ve even started losing single socks.

• While I don’t write at the speed of light, when I do hit flow state and words spill out of me, time does dilate and seem to move more slowly

• There are past, present, and future Jamies that are all existing simultaneously, and hopefully one of them is crushing her word count goals.

Wishing you stellar writing this week,
Jamie
