The Far Pavilions
M. M. KayeChris MahanToday's writing practice comes from chapter 2 of MM Kaye's The Far Pavilions. I simply love her writing style. It feels to me that these text were handwritten, not typed at a machine when first written. (good handwriting gifs are hard to find) https://t.co/NDvlt1ydfb

Under Western Eyes: Novel
Joseph ConradChris MahanMy writing practice today is hand-copying Joseph Conrad's author notes in introduction to his novel Lord Jim. These notes, written in July 1917, stare at me across an entire century, and reveal a writers's relationship to his works that seem all too familiar to me. 😱
