A Short Hiatus #
I haven’t published anything for about 6 weeks. There are a numer of reasons for this: In March I went on a trip across the US and was “one with nature” as my brother-in-law put it. Zion was incredibly beautiful, but the days of driving and hiking didn’t lend themselves well to writing.
Once I was back, I was laser-focused on finishing the Power Broker. I had to return the book by April 11th to the library, and I finished a week ahead of schedule! It is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read, and has changed the way I view a number of things: government, agency, power and people.
The following two weeks I was really trying to get Tailor out. My weekly goals for the last 6 weeks have inevitably included “Get Tailor Out!!” in no uncertain terms, but while I’ve been making consistent progress, finishing a project with complex UI is so hard.
I realized I hadn’t written in 6 weeks, and so this is just a recap of why. When I asked Tom Macwright what kept him writing for so long, he said his recap posts helped a lot with consistency. This is my attempt at taking good advice.
