Looking forward to more of your work brother. I totally agree with you that Perelandra was the best of the Ransom Trilogy, I loved it!
Sorry to hear about the struggles with your daughter. It will be quite the season of self-control for you! I hope that you can receive this with grace as just a suggestion about the model of how children sleep. You and I naturally do not like to be by ourselves and neither do children. My wife and I practice what is called co-sleeping (I only have a 3 month year old so I am in a much different situation that you), but eventually I understand you do want the children to sleep by themselves. Why do they necessarily need to be in a different room at a young age though? Just a thought, maybe she can sleep on the floor in Dad and Mom's room. This is the way humans did it for thousands of years, It's just recently that we send them to their own rooms. Happy to hear your thoughts brother
I need to read that Lewis book on writing myself. I just starting trying to work on writing this year and I am bad at it. I enjoy your style and was pleased with the short Christmas story that was a sequel to the Beast of Bear tooth Mountain. Keep up the good work!
Hey man, thanks so much for the thoughtful response! We were in the same room as our daughter until she turned a year old, and her transition to her own room was pretty easy. We’ve tried co-sleeping with her since but she never stays asleep and instead gets distracted because we’re with her. Thankfully, since writing this, she has been having little trouble going to sleep since, which is a serious blessing. I’ve certainly got a lot more to learn about parenting, and I’m excited to think through more of that here. (Also, congrats on your three month old! What a gift!)
As I mentioned, I would highly recommend that C.S. Lewis book (which is honestly just more of a collection of quotes) on writing. It’s excellent, and there are a lot of great nuggets to digest.
Makes sense, seems like it is inevitable for me at some point, co-sleeping doesn't seem to solve all issues by any means. It's great she has finally adjusted!
Thank you! little girls are just so precious, I'm very thankful for her. I love the nickname you have for your daughter, I'm sure I'll come up with something eventually.
I will definitely be picking that up soon. Thanks again brother!
