That was one of your best posts do far. I just lived it. Every word play hit a solid idea, it was structured beautifully, and most of all it made me laugh till I cried at my own craziness. Thank you.

Suddenly I can hear “wagwannnn” in my ears. A beautiful piece… this piece is like floating on an island of simplicity in a sea of excess

CANSASFIS WOW INCREDIBLE.

faves

-I needed to do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do as much as po-po-po-po-possible.

-Honk-honk “what da fugg buddy”, and a car crash half a mile up the road has me stuck in traffic and late for an appointment.

-Seeing more doesn’t mean that I see more. Being seen more doesn’t mean that I mean more.

-So maybe it’s less about doing less, and more about doing just one thing exactly how it needs to be done.

your audience

-humans stuck on the hamster wheel who need a couple screws screwed loose

-travellers, artists, and people sick of boring writing

-anarchists

notes

-i loved it.

-great shiny dime & story wrap-up at the beginning & da end

-the list was cool cuz it was concrete examples that I found very relatable

-ive wracked my brain in terms of what could be better and tbh couldn't think of anything beyond, i didn't listen to the beginning song or the ending song. if its not a song i know already, i skip it.

maybes to consider

-there wasn't much of a turning point in the story. a bit one note. but you do keep the reader interested by engaging the whole way through with word play & presenting the same idea but in different frames

-not much emotion. its like relax, stress, stress, stress, relax

-i dont know what the piece is about based on the title. which is cool like a mystery but also if i'm lazy, i'd just be like eh, i wonder what that was about.

“a lesson, not a more-on” love that. It took a few years of cohabiting with a Caribbean man who downright refuses to rush before I finally came around to the simpler life, but boy am I ever grateful I did

Doing nothing in Jamaica feels quite different than a Seinfeld nothing

... time machine worth it just for that... fix the Seinfeld series finale with a Jamaica nothing, and then throw away the machine... but never mind... why am I adding more here?...
