It's been a strange day since this morning...and not talking with my W about the elections today at all...it's just the kind of thing I always talked about with her in detail...makes me miss that today...
I had an interesting meeting with a TV exec today - asked her for advice on my career - and she seemed to read my like an open book - and she seemed to notice right away that I had been holding back on my career over the years and was very adamant about telling me to take a chance and commit 100% to a choice about what I want to do with my writing...something I hadn't done/haven't done for the last ten years....I've just worked as a writer - simple as that - doing whatever kind of writing happened to find me - and not really going out and charging at life with the energy I used to have when I was still on the academic path...The conversation confirmed a lot of what I had been thinking...and left me feeling like I have a ton of work to do....and a lot less time to waste...which is all good - though it did kind of feel overwhelming along with all the other changes I'm going through in my life.
At least I have my baby boy here with me now. I feel for you, NW - not seeing you boy must be so hard...my older son lives 1hr away - and I don't see him as often as I like.
Hang in there, my friend. Be strong. Be kind to yourself. -Carlos.
