Merry Christmas, everyone. I hope your day today was wonderful. Mine was. Truly. I miss my family terribly, but I was still able to connect with them over all the distance. And, it’s wonderful to spend Christmas in your own home. I love traveling, too. I love both. We...

Merry Christmas Eve!!! Christmas manages to sneak up on me every year, but this year in particular it really did. It’s usually the trip up north to see family that makes it start to set in, but we’re not able to do that this year, so I didn’t get that prompt....

Five Farms Irish Cream. Kill me now, because I’ve been to heaven. I had it last year, actually, at Scott and Addie’s! Loved it last year, too. But, Liz and I went and got a bottle tonight just to be special, and we watched a holiday edition of GBBO featuring the cast...

Feeling that “finishing” bliss today. Powerful stuff. I love it. I wrapped up a particularly challenging project at work today, or at least the grunt part of that work. Still some stuff to clean up here and there, but it’s majorly done. And right on time. Everything...

So, what am I afraid of? I rarely think about this. I more think of what I *want* and then worry about not getting it. But, I can reverse engineer my fear from that, can’t I? I want to be liked, which means I’m afraid of not being liked. I can remember the sting of...

If I could conquer my fear, I could be a full-time author. If I could conquer my fear, I would write for joy. If I could conquer my fear, I would finish this intro to my new novel, send it to Craig Martelle, and finish the rest of it with him as my mentor and learn...

I cleaned my office today. It involved finally FINALLY packing up all the stuff I want to sell on eBay. It’s done. They’re ready to measure, weigh, and then be posted for sale. I started that project back in...August, I think? Four months later. Jesus. But, it’s...

Sitting in bed in a snuggle right now. Yes, those infomercial products of yore. The blanket with sleeves. It’s coming up clutch at the moment. And to think I almost got rid of them (we have two) this year! If I take a nap during the day, that’s what I usually use, and...

I’m out of sync creatively. It happens. I don’t like it when it does, but here we are. I’m letting it be. I wish I could write more about it. Maybe I’ll try that tomorrow. Right now...I kind of just feel like letting it be. It is what it is right now. I’m doing my...

A better day today! Man...it really was because I got up on time. Simple as that. I had a decent writing session—solid, truly—and got to work on time, got my work done on time, even had a chance at the end of the day to get tomorrow’s podcast episode posted. It was...
