Listen here world, I know that it’s Wednesday and I usually publish these things on Tuesdays but guess what? I was in bed sick all day yesterday and also part of today. So there’s that. I was debating blowing off this week’s entry altogether, but that would defeat the whole point of this thing. Which is to keep me honest about writing.
So this is going to be short.
Did I Write This Week?
You would think that with two weeks of lead time since last week I wrote about Loot Crate I would have more to show this week, but I don’t. If I’m being honest (and that’s the point) I maybe found about 30 minutes in the last two weeks to do anything, and with that time I finished up another section of my ole Zombie Story. So only 3 parts remain before I start sharing with you.
So there’s that.
I don’t want to make excuses (but I will) but the last two weeks have involved buying a house, a lot of parties and then getting completely bed ridden with exhaustion. The kind of exhaustion that leaves you thinking you’re sick, but then it’s the kind of sick that doesn’t make any sense. Like, you’ve got a sore throat and kind of a fever, but then your nose doesn’t get stuffed up? You sleep all day and wake up feeling kind of better but you start to move around and realize you still don’t have any energy?
I’m not a doctor but I think this is what old people feel like all the time.
Maybe that’s it, maybe I’m just getting old.
I took two days off of work that were mostly spent sleeping and only now am I beginning to feel human again.
One of the other things that I’ve been terrible about is actually getting out of the house to write. I have this vision of getting together with some other people and just working on our creative stuff at a bar or cafe or something. I did it once with Marc and it was pretty great. Mostly just us sipping on pints of beer while we worked on our stuff. I was cutting together a short little video that you might see one day and Marc was working on a podcast that you might very well see in the next week or two.
It was great and I really want to do it again. There’s something pretty motivating about working alongside someone, even if it’s not expressly on the same thing.
Anyhow, I wrote a little this week, but I really feel like I have the itch to hammer out a lot in the next coming days.
Wish me luck I guess.
