Coming back to reality.

I feel like I'm coming back to reality.

You know how when you finish a good book and you come back to reality and you already miss it? That's how I feel about this book.

But I'm purposely stepping back from THE RELUCTANT WIZARD, and Lore and Kinnon and all the other characters, and giving it a little time to breathe, and to get a few outside opinions.

Meanwhile, my procrastination level -- which is already pretty bad -- had been dialed up a couple of notches.

I need to renew my driver's license in person this time, and they want my birth certificate and I'm not sure what I have is the right one, and why can't they just give me another license since I already have one?

I have to finish off my taxes by the middle of the month.

I'm down to 3 checks in my book -- and just called in for more this morning.

My lawn is 3 feet tall.

My room is a mess.

And so on.

Writing is crippling, I tell you.

I can tell by the hit rate on this blog, that writing is the least favorite subject -- but, it's what I've been doin'.

Well, the writing is MY favorite subject...

The DMV is a ginormous pain in the ass. Make sure you have exactly what they need so they can protect us all from terrorists.

Coming in for that MS today.

I enjoy reading about your writing, since I am trying to spark the flame in myself. I think of it as education.

I'm trying to downplay expectations. I think because I talk about it so much there is an assumption that I must be pretty good.

(I suppose the opposite supposition is also more than possible..)

Oh, and you should write.

'coming back to reality'
