Purification.

I'm now trying to think of my life as purification.

I made up a list of four areas of my life, with two of them being the past (my campaign and my doctoral program), and two of them being the start of the future (two major areas of freelance writing).

I listed out a bunch of tasks, and what I'm going to try to do now is close off all the areas of the past as quickly as possible by completing all the little loose end stuff that I have left to do to fulfill my responsibilities in those areas, and then I'll start phasing in my other writing until it's all that I'm doing and I'm in a new chapter of my life.

It's really time.
