Meanwhile, at Parenthetical Recluse… Returning: rhythm of the day, slowly

Hi, I’m Tyler. Over the last 15+ years, I’ve managed to convince myself that I’m a writer. I’ve written and published two books and am in the midst of my third, my first novel; to balance the slow with the quick, I also publish daily posts (Mon-Sat, with a newsletter on Sunday) to my main site, Parenthetical Recluse. As for why I’m here, I once tweeted that I’d gladly pay for a space where I owned my data and where my content was more than a coin dropped into the slot machine abyss of outrage and advertising. Time to put my money where my mouth is. Glad to be here.
”I have to write, but in such a way as to vouch for nothing; I shall always be seeking, mostly doubting, rarely trusting myself.”
— Cicero, via Michel de Montaigne, “An apology for Raymond Sebond.”
