Day 2,712: Backyard Movie Night
We went to a backyard movie night tonight and it was AWESOME. Movie projected up on a big sheet screen hung on a fence, all of us in lawn chairs with blankets and pizza, drinks, and snacks...it was heaven. Heaven. I want to do it again. We watched Godzilla vs. King...
Day 2,711: Fam
Family is in town. I haven’t seen them in literally a year. It’s so nice to be together again. It’s really late. Gonna sleep now. Try to get eight hours. Night!
Day 2,710: Nonstop
Holy jesus. Today was non-stop. I got...almost everything done. This weekend will be pretty damn non-stop as well. Bring it on. Wrote. Worked. Client work. Dropped some stuff off. Took care of the pups. Podcasted. It was...a long day. A great day. Night!
Day 2,709: 1 of 2
I got stuck today. Pfizer vaccine dose 1 of 2. Honestly? Low key emotional about it. It’s one step, a huge one really, toward “normal.” Intellectually, I could imagine things going back to normal from the very beginning of this pandemic. I could see how that would...
Day 2,708: Painful Setup
Right now, setting up story is painful. That’s where I am in the process of writing my current book: setting things up. There’s so much unknown, so much detail to fill in, so much *I* don’t know yet about my characters, and it’s so easy for me to write outside of the...
Day 2,707: Nearly There
Man...I am nearly there. Two weeks straight of getting up at 7am. I write that, and I definitely feel...proud, but also totally silly. Like, objectively speaking, it REALLY isn’t that hard to wake up on time for two weeks. But, goddamnit, it was for me! I tried to get...
Day 2,706: Weedz
I never though pulling weeds could ever be therapeutic. I haaaaaated that when I was younger. Hated it. But now...it’s nice to put on a podcast and just be down with the plants and the dirt. Who knew? Got to go out and visit somewhere and pull weeds. Happy with the...
Day 2,705: Wow
So... I reaaalllyyyy didn’t want to get up at 7am this morning. I had a late night podcasting, I was really tired, but I’m committed so I did it anyway absolutely convinced I’d stay up for an hour and then go back to sleep. Nope. I knocked out all the shit I wasn’t...
Day 2,704: Let them eat cake
Oh boy, it’s late. Great day. I set a goal to write 3 pages and I DID IT. Work was great. Podcasting was EPIC. Also got to play some DJ times with Josh, too, before we podcasted. It was all excellent. And, now it’s waaaay past bed time. So, we’ll end it here and...
Day 2,703: Better…
Writing was good today. Great, even, but “good” and “great” are subjective, for sure. I can do better, output-wise. But...I need to be patient with myself. One step at a time. I need to build my confidence, find the pocket, one step at a time. I forced myself to...
