In case you've been wondering too

I talked to Miryam earlier today, and in different words and with no judgment implied, she asked why I’ve been being distant. My answer is in no way shape or form a complaint. The fact is that for going on eight months, each month I put everything else on hold for between five and eleven consecutive days to visit with Jared. Again, not

Dammit, Emily, our novel isn't going to write itself. If you can't show a more serious level of commitment to it, I don't know that I can do this.

Ha, speaking of that, USC did a production of the operatic version of Our Town, and at one point somebody had the line "I can't go on." It was supposed to be really dramatic, and there I was desperately trying to stifle my laughter.

That's fantastic. I hope there was also a small woman moving large equipment between scenes. Slowly. And alone.

I understand and appreciate the feeling. It's a bit like living in dual lives or alternate universes, isn't it? There's Time Together and Time Apart. During the Time Together, the other person's presence occupies the full frame of consciousness; during the Time Apart, the person's absence does the same. Both times take energy, effort, and devotion to uphold. I, for one, perpetually feel that I'm not doing a good job at either due to constant attention to be paid the other. And the whole situation is both incredibly easy and impossibly difficult all at once.

Well said, well said.
