Decent day today. It was a little weird because I had to go over the hill into the office, which just makes the day feel off kilter…but I got my shit done today. Decent writing to start. Crushed the Netflix stuff. Great meetings with clients. I don’t really have much...

So much of my outlining and then the actual writing is figuring out personalities and relationships. Who are the PEOPLE in my stories? When I have a grip on that, oh man…the scenes start to come to life. But, it takes time. And a lot of thought. I was just thinking...

I once saw the word “esports” and read it as eh-sports, like it was a spanish word. Even knowing in the back of my head that deportes is the actual spanish word for “sports.” Only later did I realize that it means eSports… But now I refer to sports as esports all the...

I painted for *ten* *hours* today. Managed to fuck up my left ankle a little bit. I was in an odd crouched position getting to a hard-to-reach part of this wall (because the room has stuff in it) and it totally irritated some of the tendons in my foot. Hopefully not...

I wrote last night about rhythm. Hubris. Best to take things one day at a time when writing is involved. Got up late today. I was pretty exhausted from the week, and stressed over just how much Netflix work I had on my plate. A losing combination on the writing-front....

Found a bit of rhythm to start the year with the writing. Thank god. I really, really didn’t want to write this morning…but I did it anyway. And it wasn’t actually that hard. I knew where I’d left off. I knew what I wanted to tackle next. I just had to get my ass out...

Wow. I am…really close to 3,000 consecutive days of writing a blog post/journal entry, whichever one you want to call it. That is CRAZY. I genuinely had no idea when I started this little project, or routine, back in 2013 that it would go this long or take me this...

Another super productive day. Got my ass out of bed. Wrote. Outline is going well. This first part of the story…might work best as a little interstitial novella? I don’t know. We’ll see how long it is when I write it. I can see it still working as the first act of the...

Today was one of those days I did all the things. Workout? Check. Writing? Check. And it was a great writing session, too. Netflix work? Check. Nap? Check. And crucial. Painting work? Check. AND got to listen to the Warriors on the radio as they beat Miami. AND got to...

Coco gives me kisses on my nose every chance she gets. If my face is at the level of her tongue, she’s licking my nose as hard as she possibly can. She just has this “lick” energy at night sometimes. She has to get it out before she can go to sleep. It’s as close as...
