The new book is 50 pages old. Need to add another 10 more over the weekend to hit my goal, but I can do it. Phew. It was looking dicey there around mid-week, but we rallied, big time. The pages flew by today. I made some good choices in my outline, made the scenes so...

Good writing day! Whew. I needed it. Almost didn’t happen, which is kinda wild that I recovered, but the morning is usually so crucial to hitting the page count, but my morning was not great. I don’t think I did even half of what I was supposed to. And then I was...

New work computer, which is kinda wild. I’ve had my laptop and iMac Pro from Netflix since the end of 2018, so almost 8 years. They lasted me a long time. The iMac Pro in particular. It’s been a beast. Still is, and I guess you’d want it to be considering that...

So, today was very busy. Too busy. I only got through three pages of writing in the morning, a mix of distraction and just second-day grind…and then work hijacked the rest of the day and evening, so that was it. Sigh. Sometimes, that the way the cookie crumbles. I’m...

The new book is a beautiful, perfect 12 pages long. I was honestly expecting to struggle a bit today to hit that goal, but I didn’t. We’ll see how tomorrow goes. The US crashed out of the World Cup tonight. And they really shit the bed on the way. Yikes. That was…not...

The Mexico vs England game was lit. LIT. My goodness. So much fun. My sympathies to the Mexico supporters, and my congrats to the English. I’m used to seeing England disappoint in the World Cup, to be honest, the same with the US. But they look good. We look good....

It sounds like a cauldron outside. It’s bubbling with fireworks, all across the valley. Or the sound of a battlefield, I imagine…but cauldron occurred to me tonight for the first time. There’s a constant background hubbub of all the far off detonations that really...

Mr. Nobody Against Putin is very, very good. My goodness. Heartbreaking. Funny. Inspiring. Disturbing. All in equal measure. He’s living in exile now after making the film, which is pretty much all you need to know about it. Really loved it. A better writing day...

Coops has always liked a lean. He’s up on the bed now, but just a minute ago he was down in his bed, just leaning on the raised edge of it. He presses up like that with his shoulder and his head. Loves it. Always looking for that position, pretty much, no matter where...

Well, the US is through to the round of 16. In past world cups, this simply meant you made it out of your group. So, we’ve done this with some regularity. But this World Cup, it took winning a knockout game, and we haven’t done that in a decent amount of time, so it’s...
