I don't want this to get to be a duty. When I'm writing these things, I'm not really conscious of how much it takes out of me to do this. After I wrote the thing I wrote last night, I realized that I was exhausted and the only real cause could have been sitting down and telling stories.
I went off to work today and wrote things I didn't have to think about. Writing the independent freelance work seemed much harder than writing about circuit board replacement.
Maybe I'm compensating by writing these things every night.
