Day 3,182: Burnout

Ya. Ha! So…I hit burnout today. I did my writing in the morning. Couldn’t get anything down on paper. Been a while since I had a day like that. And you know what? Still not deterred you guys. I have to get my ass up on time tomorrow morning, but tomorrow is going to...

Day 3,181: Flexible

Day 3,181: Flexible

So, the thing that I’ve learned about the 40-day plan is that it doesn’t really have any room for error, any room for flexibility. But, here’s the thing: I do. I have room for flexibility. I have the ability to flush the days in which I didn’t get done as much as I...

Day 3,180: Back in business!

Day 3,180: Back in business!

Had a god writing day today. I need more brevity on the section that I’m currently working on, which probably means I’ll lose some of the those pages, but… This book is getting written y’all. And I do still fully intend to make up the days (yes, DAYS, unfortunately)...

Day 3,179: Behind

Day 3,179: Behind

Oh, I’m woefully behind on my writing, BUT… I have time tomorrow to write. I intend to make the most of it. I doubt I’ll catch up, but I can get in some solid time. It’s a hard schedule to keep, ten pages a day. Especially with people coming into town, and just LIFE...

Day 3,178: Two Days Back

Well, blerg. I’m two days behind on the writing now. So, you know, maybe I *need* an extra day of leeway per week. That might be the lesson here and if it is, so be it. It’s not throwing me off my game, y’all. Still getting my ass up tomorrow and cranking out 10...

Day 3,177: Upstream

It is LATE. Podcasted tonight with J. We have Ashika in town starting tomorrow night, and podcasting with her in the house wasn’t gonna fly…so we met tonight. Watched Upstream Color. It’s the sophomore film from the guy who did Primer. Not quite the classic Primer...

Day 3,176: Of The King

Day 3,176: Of The King

Man. We watched Sphere tonight, the movie based on the Michael Crichton book… It was so bad! Barry Levinson, what the fuck happened man?! SO bad. We loved it, though, in that way we love all horrible 90s movies. I remember one day we just watched Volcano, just because...

Day 3,175: Of Course He Did

Day 3,175: Of Course He Did

Making it a short entry tonight, only because I want to go to sleep on time and get up on time tomorrow. Busy day! Productive. Lost a little ground I had made up from writing extra yesterday, but that’s okay. I’m still within striking distance, and I’m SUPER HAPPY...

Day 3,174: Novelist

Day 3,174: Novelist

I’m wiiiiped. Not exactly what I love writing at 10:30 on a Sunday night, since I usually try to REcharge over the weekend. But, alas…here we are. And it’s great, actually. I got aaallllmost all my shit done today. I just sent off 67 pages to my co-writer, all written...

Day 3,173: No Time

Day 3,173: No Time

Another late night. And it was another movie! This time, it was with bear…we watched the last Bond film. It was…fine. Not great. Definitely wanted to tug some heartstrings that it did not. And that’s always unfortunate. Fukunaga is another one of those directs who is...
