the oldest woman
hiked the Grand Canyon
to push the limits

time goes way too fast
just take one day at a time
to push the limits

to push the limits
just take one day at a time
don’t waste a minute

I wake up each day
one happy little rascal
crazy to do it

drill bits, odd wood scraps
chisels in their proper place

"When it's warm enough in Maine-May through October, mostly-I write in a small attic that sits above a 20-by-20-foot garage/shop building in my backyard. I do a lot of carpentry on the side, and all my tools are in my shop. When I get tired of thinking in words, I go downstairs and dig into a list of projects that I'm working on. Or sometimes I'll just take a few minutes to very carefully put things-drill bits, odd wood scraps, chisels-in their proper places. I am one of those compulsively busy people who thinks with their hands, and something about the process of designing something, or organizing my various tools into drawers and onto shelves, has a way of clarifying the murkiness of my creative process. The thing I really don't like about writing is its abstraction: stories kind of float around my head, and the form they ultimately take as text is still so immaterial to me that, often, it's hard to feel like they're real. I guess that having tools in my hands-and bringing a vision of, say, a little box or cabinet into existence-rewires my brain, helps me believe that whatever immaterial thing I'm chasing after actually has a shot at being born."
-Jaed Coffin, author of Roughhouse Friday (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019)
