ride through the spectrum
John McPhee has published more than 25 books,
even though he rarely writes more than 500 words a day.
He once tried tying himself to a chair to force himself to write more, but it didn’t work.
He said, “People say to me, ‘Oh, you’re so prolific.’
God, it doesn’t feel like it — nothing like it.
But, you know, you put an ounce in a bucket each day, you get a quart.”

OMG, more collaboration
Salt of the earth to a baby: diapers.
Salt of the earth to a 100 year old: diapers.
You don’t have to take their _____!
Point their toes into the leg holes;
Kiss those 10 little piggies
and carry on with the lullabies.
I started with salt; Added “piggies”; David added “stinky”; and Paul Trapp used “stinky piggies”. Oh the indignity of us all!
