Saturday is the new Sunday. In many ways it has become the close of week for me. Sunday is football and relaxation while Saturday is about getting everything done and preparing for the coming week. I’ve been doing a ton of grading and trying to get deep down into the story I am telling. It is an NDA thing, so I cannot say much other than I am trying to convey a ton of meaning through a single scene. It is starting to feel a lot like Atwood, and given that I am reading her now it is likely she is infecting my consciousness in some foul way.
I am trying to get back into the writing zone; my so called zone of proximal success. Vygostky’s zone works for writers as well, you know. I’m very familiar with it because the zone for my youngest kid is smaller than the strike zone for a legless midget. I see more and more that if he isn’t challenged just the right amount he falls completely apart. It could be that he gets that from me. I’m not consciously that way, but getting in my writing zone is really difficult and hitting the so-called sweet spot of said zone is difficult at best.
Meanwhile the hard work continues to happen. I continue to try to maintain a household and maintain connections with the kids in a positive and developmental way and I continue to try to be the best possible pops I can be. Part of that is showing them me working hard and being successful in that work.
Some Thoughts:
