Posts under ‘On Writing Projects’

Hi. I’ve been busy. By busy I mean I have been insanely busy. About three, maybe three and a half, weeks ago I said to Debbie, “I can write a book by Thanksgiving.” Since no one except for me and Andy (that would be reading this) really knows Debbie, that was probably the wrong thing to say. She threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to do what I was saying I could do, and had been saying I could do for some time. Fact of the matter is that I have started and set aside several books (and by books I mean tens of thousands of words written) over the past year or two because I wasn’t personally in a place to write things<. With all that said, my life has been one continuous round of work, work, work, and, uhm, work.

It is Sunday and the LDS General Conference has just ended. This is the first time in a lot of years that I have not watched or listened to all of the sessions. I do not work, as a rule, on weekends and in coming to New Hampshire I’ve discovered that this rule, of mine, is neither hard nor fast as I now work Saturday’s. In fact, the days off I seem to be getting, at present, are associated with my school schedule and Sunday’s. I refuse to work Sunday’s.

I took Andy, Debbie and the girls to the airport last Friday. On the one hand its nice to not have to deal with the shrieking and screaming of two little girls, on the other I’ve discovered that I don’t like being alone. Being alone is no longer very comfortable to me. This is new, maybe it is a surprise, probably not but maybe, and sitting around has only caused me to consider the cosmos a little more of late.
