The First Post is Always a Pain to Write

Otherwise known as “Substack Blues,” and other bits of insanity.

Let me start this off by admitting something rather important. I’m in a creative pickle right now. Call it whatever you want, like me having lost my muse or whatever, but the truth is simple. I’ve been stuck with trying to write a lot of new content before the end of March, and I doubt I’ll get all of it done by then.

I cheated on the path of writing 150k words for the story I want to tell, but that’s only enough to keep me from having to create a lot more words on this story for an overall final draft. At the current time and day of writing this post, namely 1555 hours PST on March 5th of 2022, I’ve written about 71,800 words in this story. That might seem all fine and dandy, but I’m stalling on what I’m writing, unfortunately.

I started writing this story a long time ago, in fact… but wait, this is not what I was going to write about this weekend!

This post has gotten off track, I’ll admit it. So, how about I talk about what I wanted to talk about from the beginning?
