the Baseball

Ever since baseball season ended, I have thoroughly enjoyed having zero obligation to anything related to baseball. In my mind, I was geared entirely toward my work as a writer — for Kenly News and for myself.

Kramer (my 19-year-old brother, a rising sophomore playing baseball in college with me) is spending about five days at my apartment since he is working the Barton baseball camp here in Wilson. Tonight we threw (first time I’ve thrown in three weeks) then went to a Tobs game. First time I’ve seen some of the guys on the team in even longer, feels like.

Reminded me why I am playing college baseball.

Novelization

One of the monumental drawbacks to being 21 years old at a small college is the lack of experience interacting with those in your field of choice.

Which, for me, is writing.

Not newspaper writing. I work full-time at a newspaper. But novel writing.
