I’m having a lot of mixed feelings tonight.
Not “mixed” as in going back and forth on one single issue, I mean that my mind is stretched across a lot of topics and feelings. Not sure why, but it is.
First, I think of what’s happening right now on our borders, these families that are being separated as a “deterrent” (which really means a punishment) to enter our country illegally (which really means without proper paperwork)…and how abhorrent that is to me. And while they may not be death camps, make no mistake that there are crimes being committed in these facilities. It comes with the territory: whenever you render large groups of people helpless, particularly children, they will be preyed upon. It is inevitable. There will be stories to come, make no mistake, of this era in our history that will be infuriating and disgusting. This is a dark, dark chapter in the story of America.
Then, I think about how I’m “going for it” with writing, and how I want to “go for it” even more. I can shorten my content. Put more out there, faster. The world of self-publishing rewards that, and that’s where I want to be. My singular goal for the next couple years of my professional career is going to be dedicating myself to putting work out quickly, and at excellent quality. It can be done! TV writers are actually a perfect model for it. It can. Be. Done.
And finally, I feel tired. This weekend was an amazing trip, and I’m exhausted from all the fun 😛
We got to see Julianne and Mike today. Mike made breakfast for us, and then we went walking in this amaaaaazing park they live right next to. Char Char is so much more well-adjusted there, too! And then we flew home and kinda crashed for the rest of the day.
We’ll see how productive I am tomorrow. It might not be too spectacular, but that’s okay. I’m home. Life is good for me. It’s not for so, sooo many people…but it is for me right now.
Sigh…
