I’m up at my brother’s house tonight for the first time in…almost two years? This pandemic, man. It’s been rough. Haven’t been able to come and visit, which is a real bummer. I love it up here. I really do. It’s really nice to be here and visit. We’re going river...

Got to play a board game tonight with an amazing group of dudes called Outpost 31, which is one of those games where someone is the alien/murderer/monster, etc, and the rest of the group as the humans have to try and figure out who it is. I was not the alien. And we,...

Work got suddenly very busy today for the next couple weeks. Which is great. I’d always rather be busy than slow. Didn’t get my writing done today. Or yesterday for that matter. Fixing that tomorrow. Bed on time. Up on time. Write on time. Time on time. Traveling this...

Got myself some new (old-model) airpods on a crazy good sale, and now I have music back for blog entry and late night writing! My OG airpods went completely kaput around this time last year, I think. Something like that. And yes. I already have airpods. The pro kind,...

So many things to talk about! Things I can’t talk about yet, because they’re not finished, and because they need to be finished before I can talk about them… Nothing really happened big today, specifically. Today was a pretty routine day, actually. It just so happens...

Made a step forward today on my troublesome scene! A good step, I think. We’ll see how it reads in the morning, but I think it may have been a genuine step forward. It involved dialing the scene down. I think I may have been forcing too much (unjustified) emotion into...

Anxious today. I really, really want to finish this book. It’s fighting me hard. I took a day off today because I think I needed it…but it made me anxious anyway, sitting around and/or doing stuff that wasn’t finishing that book. I’m going to work on it tomorrow. It’s...

I’ve realized something about me and my writing, and I’ve realized that it’s totally natural, and I don’t need to try and not be this way at all, it’s just part of the process… I get grumpy about my writing when I’ve written something that I know doesn’t work, and...

Writing a book is a very, very humbling experience, y’all. It’s up and down. I was up two days ago. Top of the world up. This book will be finished by NIGHTFALL up. Well…I’m still a ways away. All it takes is one scene that doesn’t turn out the way it seemed like it...

Not aaassss stellar of a writing day today, but I suppose that was to be expected given yesterday’s monstrosity. I still wrote 8 pages. Good shit, too. Left off in the middle of a pivotal scene that I’ll probably rewrite a thousand times until it sounds right. Good...
