I've been gone for a few days. The process of moving, the setting up a new apartment, the transitioning of life from being married to being single. It's actually quite a process that I took for granted on several levels before I had to do it entirely on my own.
Have I written anything in the last few days that I've been away?
Kinda.
I've done a little writing here and there. There was something that I just did that I think is going to be a tremendous push for myself and the new life that I am involved in. I've created a second blog Diary of a Single Father, I'll post the link for it over in the side column. The idea behind the second blog is to explore the life that a single father leads. If I am able to I want to push the boundaries of what a single parent actually is by going into depth on the blog, finding similarities and differences between single fathers and single mothers, what they are going through and the things they fear and face.
Why am I doing a blog about being a single father?
There are a number of reasons. For me the one the keeps coming up is that there is not enough information about being a single father.
You come across stuff about being a single parent, in the end that single parent, in most texts, turns out to be a single mother, the single father being a foot note as something that happens also but is a rare occurrence (like the Toxic Avenger). I want to push something out into the world (a man baby) that someone that identifies with me can come along, find, read and say that sounds a lot (or a bit) like me and I think that I can take what he's saying/writing and use it in my life.
I'm going to keep this blog going as well, as identified before this is dealing with the writing side of my life so there is going to be some cross-over with this and my other blog since...well I have to write the other blog, as well as continue working on my short stories and other aspects of writing.
There is more re-working that I have to do with this blog still. I'm not happy with how the layout was left, so I'm going to need to figure out exactly what I'm doing with it and get it done. Thankfully I have some vacation coming up in the next week so I can sit and really ponder what I'm trying to make this blog look like, and come up with some visual ideas for my second blog as well.
Take a moment to check out my second blog over on the side, I've only got the opening post up but I think it's a good start.
Peace,
