A retreat into the high desert where the Wi-Fi can't follow. Notebooks, dented flasks, and a mirror in the sand.

Three days in the high desert. No signal, no feed, no audience. Just the wind, the Joshua trees and a mirror propped in the sand.

Mornings were for writing in silence. Afternoons for the Max Perkins Method, cutting each other's pages with love. Nights were for fire, stars and reading out loud.

We looked deep into the desert mirror, and it cooked our faces blue.
