Start By Writing One True Thing Every Day

I happily steal the title from something Hemingway said.

Now, actually doing it is the bitch.

Something true: I get in my own way a lot. Usually when I’m trying to be a good man instead of just being a man.

And I’m pretty sure the last, best example of that is when The Amazon came to visit and I let myself overthink everything. Which could be a very good reason as to why I haven’t heard from her (directly) since she left.

*WARNING: EGO DEFLATION APPROACHING* Speaking over thinking things, this could have absolutely NOTHING to do what me and could simply be about the facts that she a) needs to work at finding side work until she figures out if she’s going to take another job or start her own business and b) the fact that she’s got 3rd degree burns on her hand thanks to a kitchen mishap.

So I’m either a self centered ass who needs to get over himself or I’m a fool who just alienated someone who he was getting very close with in recent weeks.

Guess which one I’m pulling for at the moment?

And you know what? It’s not the most fucked up thing I’ve done in the last two months.

More true things (and some geekery to keep things interesting) tomorrow.
