Lately, when my wife has picked me up from school, I notice that my energy just seems to dissolve about the time we reach home.   If she doesn’t ask me how my day was before we get there, she’s not going to get an answer.  I’m just too tired later.

I get home and try to write.  I wrote for what felt like three hours this afternoon and into the evening, and I looked back and realized that I had only composed about a page and a half.  Granted, this was a part of the story that I had not plotted out completely in my head before writing, but still… I can’t help but feel like I’m in slow motion.

All that being said, I am really happy with what I’m writing.  I’m really looking ahead to November and December though.  Those are the best months of a teacher’s work year– lots of holidays, including for me here in Nevada… Nevada Day.  If I can get a half a dozen days in a row to write, I’ll be able to knock out Love and the Darkness.

I hope all of you are doing well and are in good health.  Have a happy October.
