Parenting is hard, it turns out. I had a big week with my infant son (Jack is 12 weeks as of today!), and also I got my Covid booster and my flu shot and felt pretty out of it the last couple days. On top of that, I got halfway through a story idea then decided I really didn’t like where it was going and needed to start over and rethink.
I have a different idea that I’m really excited about now, but with the week I’ve had there just hasn’t been time to do the whole thing. I’m really proud of the consistency I’ve put together weekly for the better part of two years now, but this has been and remains a one-man operation with no redundancy of any kind built in. Life is gonna happen sometimes!
So: I was planning on taking my quarterly week-off next Sunday, but I’m moving it up to this Sunday instead. I will have stories for you each of the next two weeks, and then will be back in the regular twice-monthly rotation, still on pace to publish another 26 stories this year. Thanks so much to everyone for your patience, and especially for being on this journey and reading along with me!
