Today, December 6, 2025, will be the first day that I attempt to write daily. We will see how it goes. I like to use schoolwork as a frequent excuse for not writing, but it isn’t going anywhere, so I’ll need to just deal.  Being the writer who doesn’t write is embarrassing. 

Hemingway believed time to be the most valuable commodity we possess, and as such, I need to just do the thing that I like and get over myself. Writing is fun. I love it, which is why I will be making this effort. I am no Hemingway, but he’s probably worth listening to anyway.

As a late bloomer, you would think I understand the value of time, and I do to a point. I’m just depressed and lazy, which I know I’ll regret on my deathbed.

On the topic of school as an excuse, I must say, it’s a good one… It’s good. I am about 2 weeks from the end of my semester, and I have never been more mentally exhausted. Being a literature and history major, I just have to read and retain information, but there is so much of both. I love my literature classes, so I’ll never half ass the readings. I similarly enjoy history, but thankfully, my only history course this semester is focused on early American colonial history (think the Spanish in the 1500s), and I already know just enough to get by at about 85% effort. The hours spent playing Sid Meier’s Colonization are paying off. Finally!

I have a website where I drop weird stream of consciousness articles, usually when deep into my nightly meds and/or a fatty. I’ve been neglecting it lately, which is bad. People looking for a content writer love to see consistent writing, but school, blah blah blah.

I’m almost to the bottom of the page, and what a ride it has been! Maybe I’ll throw this up on my website just to get the ball rolling again, even though it’s poorly written. First, I need to finish reading The Four Deaths of Acorn Whistler. Also, Svengoolie is on at 8 pm.
