Time flies, especially when your working.

Man,

These past few months have been hard to write. Yet, I've written more these past few months than ever before. Just not completely on what I want to be 'writing'.

So, I've been writing, writing a lot lately, but it's been stuff for work. I've easily been topping 2k a day writing documentation, policy, procedures. Things that just take a lot out of me to get on paper in the right way, in a way that I agree with.

But, that may be changing for at least a few weeks. It is my hope that between finding a really good and fun critique group, coupled with a few weeks of less writing for work and more work then I'll get back into those habits, to seeing those goals come up and be surpassed.

Wish me luck.

Day one? Really?

Isn't that how it's supposed to be? You make all the plans. You buy all the gear. Then you put things down, the plans put away for a day or a week. Only to pick up the plans later, fresh, and go over them again, look for holes, gaps before packing things up and testing your self, your plans.

The timing of your first has to be right. Your mood has to be positive, while your resolve is firm for whatever may come.

Finally you pack up your gear, stopping to consider going over the plans again or getting a bigger piece for the job.

Then, you take that deep breath, one that you may take every time you do this from now on, and with both hands plunge it deep into your objective.

Did you remember to look both ways? Did you check that you pushed it in all the way?  Can you stand the waiting, the anticipation of the authorities putting their gloved hands all over your work? After that will the message still be there for those that can see it?
