Breaking news: Coops has a hurt paw. Poor pup. I don’t think it’s that bad. He’s had this thing before and it just goes away, but I think it’s related somehow to his nails, like he splits one of them a little bit. We’ll see. I think I might take him to the vet for it...

Just being AROUND a toddler for the past four days has wiped me out, and I’m not even responsible for her! Jkjkjk. That’s not reealllyy why I’m wiped. I’m wiped because we’ve been busy AF. Long work day today. Got my shit done. Writing this morning was rough because I...

Coco has been suuuper snuggly today. Morning. Little nap in the afternoon. Nighttime. Very attached to me of her own choosing. Solid writing. Have some ideas for a certain storyline that will help two characters get together the way I want them to. Work was buuuusy....

I was wiped today. I only have one of these kinds of days every…two weeks? That sounds about right. But, I didn’t really get much done today, and that was a-okay with me. I know that I’ll feel much better and ready to rock tomorrow. Not sick. Not even burned out. Just...

On the air mattress in the guest bedroom tonight, and for the rest of the week, actually. Why? BECAUSE THE FAM IS HERE. Ashika, my goddaughter, and her parents, our genuinely long-time friends Madhuri and Joe are here visiting and we could not be happier to have them....

It is the nature of the universe—literally—to descend into chaos. To break down. It’s an observed phenomenon called entropy. The natural order of things is from order to chaos. I think that might be why creation is so hard. Takes so much work. We’re fighting against...

Solid writing this morning. Not my full two hours because of how late I went to bed, but goddammit, even that’s a win folks because just a week ago when I was reeaaallyyy struggling to get to the page, I wouldn’t have sat down to write ANYTHING with a late start. And...

A palindrome day! Next one won’t be for 110 days. I was thinking about the next really cool numbered day, and I think it will have to be day number 3,333. That will happen around the end of this year, I think. Maybe very early next year. I had a good writing day...

This morning was one of those mornings where I didn’t have it. Resistance got the better of me, and all it took was my phone. I used to have a rule about my phone and writing: I didn’t pick it up until after I was done. Sigh. I’ve let that slip over the past couple...

Woke my ass up and got out of bed on time today! I wrote for two hours! Didn’t make a TON of progress, but that’s pretty normal for having lost my groove or struggling to find my rhythm. Give me a day or two. I’ll get it back. And what I did write was fire. For real....
