writethemap

The website "Write the Map" is a creative project that explores the intersections of writing and place through the practice of walking. It documents how literary texts and geographic locations influence one another, highlighting the spatial dimensions of narrative and authorship. The site features essays, maps, and visual materials that examine the relationship between landscapes, urban environments, and the act of writing, situating literary production within specific cultural and geographical contexts. The project also engages with themes of cultural geography by considering how walking serves as both a method of inquiry and a form of artistic expression. It brings attention to how movement through space can shape literary imagination and create new modes of storytelling. Through various contributions and archival materials, "Write the Map" offers insights into how physical journeys and textual narratives reciprocally inform each other, framing walking as a durational and spatially aware creative practice.

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
