Thank you, Allison! Have you ever thought about teaching an online writing course that we could enroll in?

I have. Not sure how to do it with my schedule at the moment, but we’ll see what the next few years bring.

Allison...my son is an indie filmmaker and he uses recipe cards to great effect. Helps to arrange his thoughts and allows him to shift ideas. Talks about it here...https://open.spotify.com/episode/5zy17S58SqkPeqAg8YpgME

Hey, AM, lets go easy on the only guy who did reply on Sunday. I suspect -and I have it from good sources- that he’s sincere and cares deeply for you and your entire body of work. The rest will catch up to the platform but he’s special. Don’t forget about him, ok?

Before I make my primate inquiry, I wanted to extend my gratitude. I heard about your creativity course and so wished that I could've partaken. To find you hosting this platform, where you are so graciously sharing prompts, vulnerability and wisdom has provided me a plethora of inspiration. Amongst your seemingly endless talents, you are also a gifted teacher, Allison.

So about these monkeys...

In your initial chart, it's obvious that they just lawlessly fly. The three more formalized charts suggest a slightly more evolved approach. I realize that there are really no rules and that the idea itself is to be free from thought, but I can't help but wonder if the interior, separate spaces i.e. "Shoes " and "Speech Therapy" are meant to have a separate significance? Sorry, I'm a word and puzzle goof. I see shoes and speech therapy and think Converse conversation.
