I’m going to admit, my own writing has suffered this week, as I’ve struggled to adjust to not being in Banff.
A big part of it, obviously, is the return of the morning schedule — having to get up at a specific hour each day and go to sleep at a reasonable hour the night before. I’d be lying if I said that hadn’t kind of kicked my butt all last week, and that I didn’t miss being able to sleep in a little should the need arise.
But the truth is, I just plain miss Banff.
It was a week full of catching-up projects at work, and planning for more travel at the end of October, this time for work, to Texas. And my sister visiting from Texas this weekend (along with her husband, dog, and new cat), so that we could take our parents out for a long(ish)-planned anniversary dinner.
And then there was that brand new issue of Kaleidotrope that I launched on Wednesday.
I’m really happy with how the issue turned out. But, frankly, it’s a little amazing that I got it — much less anything — done this week.
I need to get back into the groove of writing. That, or I need to go back to Banff.
