Roadrunners (aka “I Am a Stupid Fluffnoggin”)
Progress on Roadrunners is agonizingly slow. I make awful choices. I worked hard for two days to create a free evening last night. What did I do? I invested the entire evening composing a piece for the NPR comment board explaining that teachers aren’t shiftless s***bags bilking the public out of hard-earned tax money. No one who has made up their mind already will be convinced of anything contravening their existing narrative. All I accomplished was the expenditure of time I could have used for writing Roadrunners. I’m a fool.
