Proto-Story and Exhaustion

Quick morning blog post.

Just felt an urge to get some writing in.

Been a pretty intense and busy couple of weeks. On the go from one thing to the next non-stop.

I have virtually no time to myself. At least the end of the semester is in sight.

Some changes will be in order during the break. But I'm also sort of afraid of what the break will bring.

The first without my wife since 2004. Fuck.

I started a new story I am excited about. Fiction. Just sort of developed from things I have been thinking about and books I have been reading recently. (Dr. Sleep and American Psycho, in case you are curious.)

Not really sure where it will go. It is very new. Just wrote the first sort of proto-intro for the story. If I put it off, it will die. This may be perfect timing for NaNoWriMO.

Really tired lately, but still hoping to wake up Friday and write...start my 50K.

I am also really looking forward to the weekend. I need the break from work and from being a single father.

I feel like that sounds shitty. But it really isn't shitty. I need some down time to recoup. For myself and for my boys.
