It is absolutely the hardest part. It’s really strange but you kind of mourn your old life. This is something no one tells you or talks about before you do it. The upside is you do get through it and you see how important you are to this little person that you share your DNA with. It will change you and subsequently your writing. Hang in there (he says as he types this at 4 am after feeding his son) you’re about to turn a corner (in the jungle, light at the end of the tunnel - somebody help me, I’m running out of metaphors.) All that discipline you talked about from the salad days, that will come in handy now. That first month that is all I kept thinking. It is absolutely the hardest part.

I don't think I ever realized just how exhausting this whole dad thing could be, even on days when I'm not on duty quite as much... but I clearly don't need to tell you that!

WriterDad -- Take advantage of that free day. Are you worried that one day isn't enough or about the overwhelming nature of it all? Gil — Thanks for reassuring me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

WriterDad — Take advantage of that free day. Are you worried that one day isn’t enough or about the overwhelming nature of it all?

The experience you're going through now is definitely something I'm worried about... This is a subject that film schools have inexplicably skipped in the usual curriculum. :)
