In this episode, I discuss (and demonstrate) the kinds of problems writers may face, if they don't have a specific resolution in mind. I call it "The Lost Syndrome". Named it after the TV show Lost.

Happy early birthday to me! (This episode is being released 6 days ahead of my birthday.) I don't remember everything I talked about in this episode, but that's the beauty of it.

While reading "God Emperor of Dune" by Frank Herbert, I encountered a word new to me: peregrination. Turns out, it aptly describes my life experience, and the experience of this very podcast.

And I use the Netflix adaptation of Sandman as an anchor. Help support an artist, and get bonus...

In this episode: I change a David Bowie lyric to fit a bit that I worked hard (for 30 seconds) to create, share an unexpected insight inspired by a therapist on a social media app, look for the intention behind the intention, learn how to set boundaries, and generally get sick and tired of being sick and tired.
