Time to move out
I've been here long enough. I need a new view fix. Today I drove out into that scene on UT 12 and made my way up to Torrey UT and Capitol Reef National Park, where I ended up at Fruita Campground. I'll stay here a few days, out of contact (there's no cell service here).

Give it, Give it All, Give it Now
One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
