Yes, I've clammed up.
It's not been entirely accidental.
All deep thoughts on life, the universe, and everything, have been colored by the general environment of this semester. And there comes a point where I can't keep that leaking through the writing, and I really want to keep that from leaking through the writing because there are circumstances where I might Say Too Much and Break Confidence and all that stuff, and I really don't want to.
(I fear, if you talk to me on a regular basis, you've already seen a great deal of these thoughts leak through anyway.)
Combine this with the fact that most of my creative writing has gone into course/curriculum materials, letters of recommendation, and other "work stuff", and I am a dry well for the purposes of blogging.
I think this goes into the realm of what I was saying earlier about not being able to do anything half-heartedly. And that includes keeping the blog. I get SO jealous of characters like Dean Dad who can keep the content going on a daily basis, with fresh thoughts a-plenty. I'm not there. I'm not even close. And That's Okay.
(Confidential to Catie: those three words will probably get me through this semester. Thanks. Again.)
If you're at teh Shorter, keep poking your head inside my office door - I might look swamped and emotionally drained, but know I really AM happy to see you, and I appreciate how much you care.
If you're elsewhere, drop the e-mail to chuck dot pearson at gmail dot stuff, and you know what goes in place of stuff.
