For months now, I have been consumed with some worldbuilding ideas and concepts that I have been exploring in a textual context. This is beginning to leak into my podcast here as I try to make my creative methodology more concrete across all the media that I regularly interact with. This was not apparent when I started this episode. In fact, I was on a different angle when I started this episode, just trying to get back to meeting the deadline of Friday 6pm which I have struggled with the past few months.

This is all to say that I have been reinvigorated in the process of cutting down the massive amounts of creative output artifacts. Let me unpack that. I have made 14,000 notes about the world which I am building. I have in the last couple weeks been cutting down, merging throwing out and otherwise trying to boil away the fat and get down to the essence of what I want to create. In that vein, getting back to making this podcast on schedule and on time, I have thrown out some ideas which did not further my creative abilities and really only hampered them. They were interesting lessons to learn and I look forward to applying them in future elements.

Anyways, today I present four tracks:

• Sabathia
• Hold Me
• starting over
• West 168th Street
