Just a Connection [Eshatoh's Scrapbook]

[Eshatoh]

. Sometimes real life decides to throw Mizahar and all my writing really onto the ground and stomp all over it. Writing is simple. Every character’s motives are fairly clear. You can even see right to the inside of their heads. If you don't like how a story is going, you just change it. Real life doesn't work like that. Here's the short version: This summer I'm working at a Christian camp up North. It's hard work and time-consuming, but I still have time where I can post. I definitely don't want to miss a whole season of posting, and I won't. But right now my life is out of balance. The problem is a girl (for us guys, it always is, isn't it?). The funny thing is this is a girl whom I don't even have any romantic interest in. Last summer she was seriously my best friend, and this summer it's like I don't even exist to her. I realize this doesn't really do anything for my manliness quotient, but this relationship (or lack thereof) is causing some serious emotional issues for me. This was an important relationship and its one of the big reasons that I was coming back to the camp this summer. Until I get this worked out, the posts won't be flowing. Don't worry. It won't be long. I believe in a very confrontational style of issue resolution. As soon as I get a chance, she will be getting a rather large piece of my mind. .
