Mmm
Yeah, I know it's been about a bajillion years (five days) since I updated my blog.
It's been an interesting week. NY with Hannah, back to Kenyon (how is it that everyone there knows Joanna Newsome? Terrifying), then to Cinci, and the back in time to greet Kari. Then His Mattness, the dentist, and about to go have lunch (dinner?) with Rosie Swan, a friend from days of old.
Monday was a morbid and disturbing day in the mind of Nate. I don't know if I can exactly pinpoint why, but a death-centric conversation early in the morning, a long drive on my own, and finishing Daniel Handler's The Basic Eight (which I can only accurately describe as "Fight Club meets Mean Girls") all put me in a very odd state of mind. Oh, and the three apocalyptic dreams I'd had in the previous week or so probably didn't help.
I haven't worked on The Silence in almost two weeks now. It sucks, but I'm tired, and after a whole day thinking like I did on Monday it's very hard for me to think about the big picture.
Effin' Christ it's going to be hard to get my book published. Ugh. It's not an easy thing to do-- and it's not even finished yet. It's barely half finished. I try not to think about it.
I'm not losing help, mind you. I actually feel pretty good about it. But right now I am awfully tired and really need a nap and a shower.
I think I'll go take care of those things now.

Let the death-centric conversation of Monday morning slip out of your mind. Chances are, if any of the objects of that conversation were a problem, you would know.
Getting things published may be difficult, but I have no doubt you'll do it. Hell, your work is already the subject of a musical project. How badass is that?!?
Thanks for having me this weekend. I had a rovery time.
Even if you haven't updated The Silence in two weeks, I'm sure you've added lots to it since I last read it this spring. Send me a new copy!
Also- call me if you want to hang out at all. I'm working every night this weekend, but I'm sure next week I'll have a night off or two. Hope to see you afore I venture off to Hiram again. :)
