Stop fooling, start working

I'm finally ready to sit down and work on the chapters. I have a Friday deadline to send them to publishers. Keep your fingers crossed and I'll keep you posted.

I came home from work today to find my uncle at the house. This wasn't all together a bad thing but it illuminated my ever-eroding relationship with my family. We were once extremely close-- a tight family unit. Now we have nothing in common-- I even chose work over spending a week in their company (talk about A-J!). More on this later.

Sunday was spent reminiscing with old Governor School suitemates. There's really no connection there-- they're friendships of convenience. Which got me thinking-- what separates us into meaningful friends or filler? A mutual understanding and respect? A desire and care for a connection? This is something well worth exploring...But for now I have no easy answers, and no time to dig further. The book awaits.
