Overwhelmed by all the wrong data

Thanks for reading The Habit of Art by Kelcey Ervick, a Substack Featured Publication (twice!). I love writing and drawing these posts and am grateful to everyone who follows along. I’m a writer and professor in Indiana. If you like this newsletter, you might like my graphic memoir, The Keeper, which was featured in the New York Times Book Review’s Holiday Gift Guide and is 40% off at the place that rhymes with Christmas-Ham-a-zon. I edited a book on making comics and visual stories, which you can find here: The Field Guide to Graphic Literature (or here). I have other books too! Thanks for again for being here.

Ugh yes I hate when my watch tells me I slept bad; it almost feels like my watch is calling me stupid. I wish I had more data on things like how many birds I saw or how many cats I petted this year. How many times I said "I love you" to my partner. There's so many other things that don't involve telling me I slept bad
