From the Zero Drafts: 4 Jan 2018

The bulk of my drafting so far this year has been trying to find my way into best telling the story of the early work Jerry and I did together. I don't feel like I've quite hit my stride so far, but there have been a few bits and pieces that I've really been proud of. For example:

I had the depression to teach me that in order to be living in the way I was living, I had had to send my energy very far away for a very long time, in order to not just kind of naturally find a way to shine.

Despite using "in order to" twice in that sentence--all hail the zero draft, in which it remains impossible to make a mistake--that sentence sizzled when it came out of my fingers.
