+## Hybridity
+
+### 2-minute freewrite
+
+I haven't had a parter to whom I have written love poems in nearly two decades, and I've never had a love poem written to me until recently. I woke up a few weeks ago to a pining poem written in a language I didn't speak and puzzled over it for a while until giving up and plugging it into Google Translate.
+
+### 2-minutes about a piece we're having trouble with
+
+I've been struggling with both pieces in progress, *Marsh* and *Florilegium*, and I've been blaming it on long COVID and all its associated symptoms, but I'm beginning to think it's perhaps something broader, more integral. I cut down on one of my meds and lo, the words are coming again. Perhaps I can blame Echo, as well. Ey're so full of words...

+
+* Journal focusing on hybrid works, from mixed media to mixed form
+* Themed volumes, but writers approach from a slant, interesting takes on it
+* What hybridity means:
+    * Stories that look and feel different from traditional writing
+    * Not necessarily experimental, leaning on the story's complications, can still 'look' like the form
+    * Work that teaches the reader how to read it, a co-work with the reader
+    * E.g: epistolary, diaristic, archival, catalogue
+    * Focus on play and freedom with the page
+
+### Return to piece we're having trouble with
+
+I like the idea of a diaristic approach to either Elevation or Margins. Make it more personal and immediate. That would probably be a good one for Margins, because it would keep the hybridity, yet make the quotes feel more breathless.
