Gonna go write tomorrow.

Today is a lovely day to run
Start up the car with the sun
Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen

Cross when the drawbridge light is green
Don't look back to that messed-up scene

Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen

And all our troubles will be gone
Blowing out over that bridge
Floating up into the sky
Making the storm clouds cry

Put out that smoke and breathe some air
Get a new name and cut your hair

Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen
--Packing Blankets by Eels

Just felt like sharing that.

Anyways, tomorrow is going to be a semi-big day for me, as it'll be the first day in September that I've gotten to just go write. Back when I had no job, I tried to make it out to at least once a week, but it's more difficult nowadays. I plan to give about half my day over to whatever comes to mind (including taking along some projects and some writing exercises). But mostly I just want to get it out. It's been killing me that I can't slip away as much as before.

The last school year was difficult, but eventually I got a routine established, where wednesday afternoons became my time to write. I often only got an hour or so, but I tried to make good use of it. This year has, so far, not given me any obvious days to slip away... my wife and I work virtually the same hours, and leave around the same time, which means that time I could spend alone writing I'd much rather spend with her.

But tomorrow she has meetings and work all day, and I don't have anything that requires my attention, so that's that. :D

I'm also going to try to participate in Nanowrimo again, though I haven't any solid set idea. I might just write and let whatever happens happen.

My life at present seems to be almost sorting itself out. Fingers are crossed. :D
