Blocked

Today was a day. The bad, long kind. Nothing particularly devastating happened, but I felt like I was playing Jenga with the universe. You can guess who would be the more nimble victor of that game.

I want to answer some questions I’ve received about how I pay the bills writing, how I moved to New York, and so on. My small hands grope at the keyboard, and hardly anything positive or interesting comes out. Beyond just writer’s block, I am city blocked. On days like this, I wish I were anywhere but this brutal, expensive, (and today, frigid) place I normally love.

Tomorrow will be better. It has to be.

    You’re sweet. Friday, incidentally, was a much, much, much better day.
