Day 2,806: Five in a row

Day 2,806: Five in a row

I’ve done it. I’ve finally done it: strung together five straight days of hitting ten pages written, or more. I’ve never done that before. This is the first time ever. I am exhausted. I will say that. My eyes hurt from so much screen time. Although…it’s not really...

Day 2,805: Nine, Seventeeen

Day 2,805: Nine, Seventeeen

Nine years ago today, we adopted Cooper from Perfect Pet Rescue. It’s crazy it was that long ago. He still looks like a puppy. Acts like one, too. He never really changed much from when we got him to the adult he became. Granted, he was already about nine months old...

Day 2,804: Geodesic

Day 2,804: Geodesic

Happy 4th! I wrote 8 pages this morning in my two hours. That’s…a high water mark, I think. Very happy with that. The rest of my day didn’t lend itself to getting the last two pages done that I wanted to, but that’s okay. Tomorrow is going to be a big writing day, I...

Day 2,803: Teetering

Day 2,803: Teetering

I’m teetering on the edge right now of running away with the rest of this book. In a good way! Not a bad way. I can see the home stretch. It’d take me just over two weeks at 10 pages a day to finish the thing. I mean…that would be me sitting in bed just a WEEK from...

Day 2,802: A Rising Tide

Day 2,802: A Rising Tide

Have the anxious feeling tonight of soon-to-be more on my plate than I can handle. I didn’t feel like that today, though! Just right now. Because I’m sitting down in bed thinking about all the things I need to get done, and it’s more stuff than I have time available...

Day 2,801: Grace

Day 2,801: Grace

I had the solid day I needed today. Oooohhh man was it close this morning to going off the rails. But, it didn’t. I was strong enough to get my ass up this morning and do my stuff. And the stuff was good, too. The stuff was good. This book is about half done, just...

Day 2,800: It’s Hard

Day 2,800: It’s Hard

It’s…hard to wake up on time. I didn’t do it today. The writing didn’t get done. Dammit. I will get up on time tomorrow. The writing WILL get done. And, so, in that spirit, I’m going to bed now. Today was…a fine day. I want tomorrow to kick ass. Night...

Day 2,799: Taking Stock

Day 2,799: Taking Stock

I’m not sure why tonight, exactly, but I feel like taking stock in my blog. I’ve been…doing better lately. In writing. Life in general. Therapy has helped a lot with that, I get to pour out my thoughts and feelings there, I get to do that more with my wife because I’m...

Day 2,798: Solid

Day 2,798: Solid

Yes. I had the solid day today I needed, thank you LORD. Now, going to bed far too late...but for a good reason. Had a nice long check-in with the bear, AND we finished Mare of Eastown, which was very, very good. I recommend. Night night.

Day 2,797: In Need

Day 2,797: In Need

I... Am in need of a good day tomorrow. A great day. And by that I mean super productive. A day in which I get all my shit done. I haven’t had one of those in a little while. All my writing. All my client work. All my Netflix work (which, thankfully, is pretty light...
