New Craig Mod “pop-up walk” is nearing its conclusion. He’s walking “100 kilometers south-north along the Kiso-ji in Nagano, and then turning around and walking 100 kilometers back, north-south along the same route.” And he’s sending out a fresh newsletter about every single day of the walk. I’ve followed along on so many of his Japan walks, slurping down his pictures and stories from the day over my morning coffee. (Time zone magic!) This walk has so far been equally great and escapist and fun. Here are the rules he sets for himself, like some sort of newsletter-slinging Marina Abramovic:
As usual, the usual rules will be in place to not “teleport,” to be present:
• No news
• No media
• No podcasts
• No SNS (aside from, perhaps, the members-only The Good Place)
And, of course, every night:
• Collate what we saw that day
• Turn the notes into narrative
• Publish before bed
