The Burnout
Not A Writing Exercise
I’m fried folks. I’ve been frying for a while and it finally caught up to me. I was supposed to have a story ready for Friday, I did not. I was supposed to write an exercise today, I just plain cannot. Rather than leave you fine people in the dark, I thought I’d let you know!
Scoot, what’s got you in the frying pan? A lot of things! There’s a lot going on in meatspace world, some of it I can’t talk about and some of it I can. The things I can talk about include work and some changes to my schedule and generally just not riding the waves of life very well. You know how, at the Olympics, a gold-medal diver will make basically no splash? I make a big splash.
Thank you for reading and understanding. I’m delayed but not down—I fully intend to get back on schedule, so this isn’t an announcement or anything just an explanation of why you’re not getting an exercise today. Keep an eye out for a return to your regularly scheduled programming!
Talk to me!
This isn’t a story so it’s not the same as usual. Thought I’d ask questions all the same!
What do you like to do to recharge after a busy season?
What’s something fun you’re looking forward to?
What’s your favorite comfort food?
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!
Have you taken a look at the section called “The Volume” recently? All my longer-form stories are kept there! Be sure to take a look and catch up on any stories you’ve missed!
Thank you and God bless!
I go back to old movies, ones I've seen a ridiculous number of times and just enjoy the nostalgia. I give myself permission to do nothing as I watch over several days. I also go offline, spend more time in meatspace. Disconnect.
Hope you feel refreshed soon, but more importantly, content in all things in all times!
1. Go for a hike. 2. Visit Yellowstone National Park in a few weeks and 3. tapioca.
