Mentioned in earlier posts that I'm commuting to the Loop now from West Dundee. Almost 3 hours on the Metra Milwaukee District West Line. Every day. Five days a week. Fifteen hours a week on a train. Longer commute than anyone should have. Ever.
To make it less painful, I started bringing Ahu's laptop and spending at least 45 minutes of each ride writing articles for my blogs. Actually turned out great. Always wanted more time to write and the train gives me exactly that.
Best part? I get to use the sharpest, most creative part of my day for personal stuff. Mornings. My brain fires on all cylinders first thing. Now that I'm in a daily writing habit, ideas are piling up faster than I can keep up with. Tons of ideas for improving Narrative too.
Actually writing some articles days in advance now. Got a little queue going. That way there's always at least one post per day, even on weekends. Hopefully.
Maybe eventually this ridiculous train ride will turn out to be a blessing. Maybe.
