The "R" words feel full and rich and resonant, and yes I'll use all 4 of the above.
Eighteen letters into the alphabet and I feel, generally, reconnected to writing in a way I haven't in a long time. As if the simply act of putting down words each day, of asking my mind to think of language for myself rather than for the job, is opening up my mind once again. A character in the new project I'm working on is named "Reston," a name I came up with this weekend while musing on the letter "R."
