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...

It’s so fun to podcast with Josh. We learn so much together. And we always have such a good time doing it when we haven’t done it in longer than usual, as was the case today. We went two whole weeks without podcasting, in fact, because of busy-ness and travel....

I don’t take snuggles from Coco for granted. Not any more. Not after her health scare earlier this year. And right now, she is pressed right up against me so tight. She’s such a little snuggle bug. I love her so much. Today was…not the most productive. I hate days...

Well…today was not quite the writing bonanza I wanted to it be, BUT…it was still a pretty damn good writing day. The story is fire. It’s exciting. I’ve made some adjustments that I am VERY happy with, and I think realistically, if I keep pushing the pace, I will be...

Making this one quick because it’s sleep time so I can get up and rock a full day of writing tomorrow. I know that shit burned me out last time…but I’m so close to finishing. I think it might take two or three crazy writing days…but goddamnit…I want to FINISH THIS...

Man… I’m an outliner. A “plotter” as you might say. When I have my shit plotted out, ooooo boy. I can write really fast. And good fast. Not drivel. Fast that gets to stay in the final manuscript. All because I can see it in my head. It’s vivid. I get to play inside...
