I’ve Been a Bad Blogger
No news may be good news, but it’s also no blog posts.
There is very little happening here at Rapino headquarters these days. I just started teaching my summer class, and I was recently offered a new class that I will be building from the ground up with a fellow professor, so time is short as of late.
Writing has had to take a back seat, or if I’m being honest, it has remained in the back seat. I had a couple projects that I was looking forward to completing, but neither of them got done.
Summer is supposed to be my productive writing time. It’s supposed to be when I can go out hiking, hit the farmers market, have a light breakfast, and still have all day to write. Instead, I’ve been waking into a hellish world of 100 degree mornings, where I’m slicked over with sweat by midday, and ready to pass out by early evening. I need cool weather. I need autumn.
Still, today is not as hot, and barring any sudden turns for the worse, I think a full day of writing is in my future. A tall glass of iced coffee, a blank screen begging for letters to traipse across its back, and a cool breeze coming through my window. That, my dear friends, sounds like heaven.
So I will take my leave, in search of this silver-lined cloud.

I don’t envy you. I used to teach outdoor classes, run summer camps, give guitar lessons during the summer, and it got to be too much — but the money was good. Hope you were able to create new worlds with words. Full days of writing are always good.
Thanks, Milo! I’m trying.
You’re not the only one. =) It can only get better, right?
One can hope.
