Hello Ridgeliners —

It’s me, Craig. Since it’s been — *checks watch* — uhm, four weeks since my last pop-up newsletter, I’m here, naturally, with another pop-up newsletter. ¹

My next book² takes place (in part) on the Kii Peninsula, and I need to go back to do a bit of photographic research / discovery. Hence this trip. I’ll be walking October 4-17, 2022 with my buddy John.

The pop-up is called Kiiiiiiiiiiiiii (not to be confused with the performance art band, Kiiiiiii). You can sign up here.

Once the walk is done, the list evaporates. I’ve written about why I like this style of pop-up newsletter before.

I use these pop-ups as forcing functions (my favorite kind of function) to get me to look, synthesize, and process on a daily rhythm. A weeeeeee bit of accountability goes a long way in terms of creative output / seeing clearly / staying on task. So doing this is as much for me as it is for y’all following along.

Anywhoo — so much prep to do before I head off; keeping this simple.

See you out there,
C
