Yes to the joy in this! Plus great writing advice in this from @elissafield.bsky.social ‘when writing something huge, go as small and specific as possible.’

"you can’t make ends meet, so you fish at night, for menpachi, for auweoweo, for opelu. You regrow scraps in old pots, pans, jars, on windowsills, on verandas, green onions, bean sprouts, spinach, if you can." Love this micro. The rhythm! @lumchanmfa.bsky.social

"And yet, you can’t make ends meet, so you fish at night, for menpachi, for auweoweo, for opelu. You regrow scraps in old pots, pans, jars, on windowsills, on verandas"
