Some people would call it writer's block, I suppose. I don't. I call it having a life, and you know what they say about that. Life is what happens while you're making other plans.
As I explain in our family blog, which I've also been ignoring,
things have been pretty hectic around here. Mostly, good and busy,
but hectic.
I was
really hoping today to a) get some rest and b) get some writing done.
But Millie has the day off from work and needs to get errands done. She leaves
to go back to college in two weeks and has a lot of stuff to take
care of. And this time when she leaves, she probably won't be back
except for visits. She'll finish her program at AMDA in the spring,
then get on with the challenge of trying to make a life in the very
difficult career path she's chosen – show business.
Part
of me heaved a sigh when she asked if I could keep the car today
(instead of letting Tori drive to work.) I was really looking forward
to not driving today.
But I've got all
fall to finish the second draft of the book. I've got Millie for two
more weeks. So as soon as she's up and ready, we'll be off.
(Oh, and I don't believe in writer's block, but that's a different discussion for a different day. I know exactly what I want to write. Carving out time to write it is the problem. That's not writer's block. That's being a dad.)
