Jesse Matas’ Writing Space

By Jesse Matas

It’s important to mix it up.

Sometimes I write in the lake.

Sometimes I write on the Oaxacan coast with chickens on my hat.

It’s important to try things.

I like typewriters.

Sometimes I write on a typewriter, in a car, on the highway of tears.

Sometimes I write at a desk.

Sometimes it’s important to mix up mixing it up (and stop mixing it up for a while).

 

Sometimes it’s bad! hate! stupid! and so I don’t write anywhere.

Sometimes it’s important to burn sweet grass and play a singing bowl.

It’s important to keep a clean campsite.

Clutter can detract from good writing (bears can also detract from good writing).

There is coffee whenever there can be coffee.
