I'm sending out the second installment of Saddlenet sometime this weekend. If you want to subscribe to the newsletter, send me an email! I have my email address at the bottom of my homepage (as well as a link to an (overly long) explanation of what Saddlenet is).

Okay, wow, gonna need to find time to go through the backlog of your essays. For now, I love the observation that the theory and practice of writing are basically touching. And the idea of gleeful misinterpretation of the masters being beautiful as long as it's meaningful to you in the moment. I relate a lot to your 2023 letter, too, especially the bits about fearing rigidity at the heart of organizational systems.

Thanks for the comment and sorry for my late reply! I feel like my whole experience engaging in art and literature has consisted of nothing but misinterpretation. This isn't exactly gleeful, as I'd like to eventually at least be aware of what others consider to be the "correct" interpretations. It's hard for me to avoid misinterpretation though, so I'm resigned to embracing it.

I added this little essay I wrote in Chinese while quarantined in Guangzhou, back in 2022.
