Session Notes

what I’m practicing right now

  • one concrete image per line
  • no filler vowels in the hook
  • edit for breath, not grammar

Notebook

Process notes, prompts, and tiny rules that help me finish.

Prompt: “Say it sideways”

Write the truth, but from the angle of a receipt, a stain, a streetlight.

Constraint: “No metaphors for one verse”

Only objects. Only actions. Let meaning arrive late.

Rule: “Chorus must move”

If the chorus doesn’t change the room, it’s just a repeat.

About

What “nada & kata” means, and why I’m keeping this archive.

nada is the silence before the line, the blank page, the breath. kata is the practice—showing up, shaping, revising.

This site is a living studio: I publish drafts and finished work side by side, because the journey matters as much as the song.
