I figured I’d run through this before I got to anything else. I don’t know home much else I am actually going to get to. The Lady Talis is done with her morning routine, so we are likely to be starting our day together. It means I need to get better at finding the time to write and making sure that priority is realized a lot earlier in the day. I make this a priority everyday, so why not that?
While I am in this space I want to cover ground that might feel uneven. This is why I number these thoughts…
- Hype matters. It absolutely should not. There is more hype around people based on the noise they can make or where (even who) they come from than there is in terms of what they actually do for themselves. This happens in all aspects of life. Nobody questions the success of the Trump kids because their father is a known. However, what have they done to stand on their own? The same applies to ball where I’m watching legacies get offers and those in places where legacies are getting noticed or even where a coach has pull are getting offers while my last kid has none. We’ll have to see how it all unfolds, because he’s got a big brother poised to make big moves of his own after being an unknown.
- My head is filled with rhymes today and I don’t know why. That sense of poetry pervades what I say and the way I say the things I must convey.
- Had a stray thought about a novel chapter last night that made me realize that what I wrote didn’t make the most sense. I meant to go back and correct it today. I hope tomorrow will still be okay.
- Seriously, the rhyme stuff has to go away.
