Because I am stuck.
Because I don't know where I want to live or where I will be a year from now.
Because Anne Patchett said so (more or less).
Because I started NANOWRIMO in November and after a breakthrough occurring somewhere around day 7 I stopped.
Because I let job and dishes and basketball and boyfriend take most of my time and then complain that I'm wasting my life.
Because I don't want to waste my life.
Because I feel most alive and good and beautiful and sane when I'm doing what I love.
Because I want to be a more generous person.
Because I can jump into the Atlantic off the coast of northern Maine in January, so why can't I do this?
