Second day into it and I&#8217;m bored out of my skull. My eyeballs hurt from watching too many Kiefer movies, my house is spotless, and I&#8217;m nearly out of gas in the car. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m used to entertaining myself all day every day. Without a clear purpose to the day, I&#8217;m a little bit lost. I used to think I&#8217;d be in heaven if I didn&#8217;t have to do the nine-to-five thing every day and could devote my days to pretty much anything I wanted. Now I&#8217;m not so sure.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s the time of day, maybe I&#8217;m just overly tired. I haven&#8217;t had any coffee yet, maybe that&#8217;s it. I think somewhere earlier in this blog I said I&#8217;d give writing a shot again. I did start to form a hazy storline in my head earlier&#8230; Maybe I should get cracking on that. I&#8217;ve got six more days of uninterrupted time&#8230; Not that I could knock out a novel in six days, but I could at least teach myself how to develop a story beyond just a vague story arc. Hmmm&#8230; Well the kid&#8217;s due home soon so maybe I should make that my agenda tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I just discovered some UK guy&#8217;s blog about the show &#8217;24&#8217; so I&#8217;m going to go read that for a while \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m on vacation right now.
