Today I decided that I’m obsessed with Lil Nas X’s “THAT’S WHAT I WANT” It’s so good. The whole album is sooooo good. And it’s so gratifying, man, because I really wondered if he was going to make it in the rap/black music scene as an openly gay man. Lotta homophobia...

Storytelling is hard, yo. Ted Lasso is a fun show. We’ve enjoyed much of season two, but man…they are MISSING on some stuff, and none more so, perhaps, than the character who is probably my favorite. Not even probably. He is. Or was. “Was,” because they’re ruining...

I love picking artwork for each of these blog entries each night. I find most of it on Tumblr. It inspires me. Just like music, it makes me imagine far away places, adventure, drama, excitement. It really, really drives me to write. I’m not always the best at...

Doing a quick one here on my phone tonight because it is LATE. We watched a very long, very racist movie tonight, and while it was certainly worth it for the podcast, it is LATE. I’ll post-date this back for 11pm earlier this evening, but it’s currently almost 2:30...

There is nothing like sleeping in your own damn bed, man. Nothing. I haven’t been for the past couple days because Liz was feeling under the weather, and we’ve found that the sick person getting the bed and the other person taking the air mattress has a 100% success...

It’s so funny how as soon as you get really deep into a project, that’s when ideas for other, new projects come to mind. Shiny little distractions. I think I know what I want to write whenever this current military sci-fi book series has run its course, or at least...

Zonked today. Pretty much a basket case. But… Still did my work. Crushed it. Did some client work, too. And tried to take it easy. I think I’m going to tomorrow, too, actually, at least on the creativity front… But, after that, it’s back to work. The next task is an...

Ding Dong the book is done, the book is done, the book is done! Ding Dong the fricken book is doooonneee. The first draft, anyway. Send off to my co-writer for his tweaks. And then…and then some rewrites. We’ll see how in-depth my cowriter would like to go with those....

I haven’t been tracking my page count recently. I think that’s a good thing. I’ve been focused on story…which, honestly, is easy when you’re almost done. It’s the beginning and most of the middle the require the most uphill effort, and thus the motivational tool of...

Man…I need my days off. I really do. I had designs on doing a buuunch of stuff today, and almost none of it happened because I was so gd tired. I did some stuff. It wasn’t a total wash. But the biggest thing I did was take a very long nap because I was absolutely...
