Day 2,474: A Loop
This week. It’s all felt very much the same. Kinda hectic. Not too bad, for sure, no major problems, but just out of whack. Outside “normal.” Same with today. To a degree. As I’m writing my entry tonight, I realize that I’m more FEELING out of whack than I am in...
Day 2,473: Bing Bong
Slept in this morning just a little bit. Did the morning part of my workout. Fed the pups, then immediately took a walk rather than sitting down to do my writing session first and then taking them out. Part of it was starting my day a little late (because I worked...
Day 2,472: All Over The Place
This week has been all over the place. Not in a bad way, per se. Indeed, this week has been pretty damn good, actually. I’ve been very, very productive. But...it’s been hectic. Not my normal routine. I didn’t get to play music at all this week, for example. Or do my...
Day 2,471: Battle
Going to bed tonight, I have battle scenes swimming in my head. The film Midway is not good. But, the events its based on are fascinating. And Navy battles are very prescient for the novel I’m currently writing. So...that was a fun way to end the evening. A’s won....
Day 2,470: Evil
Had a great discussion with Josh tonight about villains and the nature of evil for next week’s podcast. It’s a corker. Keeping it short tonight because I need to hit the hay, but today was hectic, but successful. I wrote. I worked. I did building stuff. More of that...
Day 2,469: A Quicks
Has to be a quick one tonight. Gotta get up on time tomorrow. I flubbed my alarm this morning and ended up oversleep a half hour, ugh. Not tomorrow! Hectic day. Didn’t get any of my normal routine done, and not much work either. I’ll be okay. I can catch up tomorrow....
“The Time Trap” (Star Trek: The Animated Series S1 Ep12)
Forget ion trails; just follow the trail of sandwiches. Ira hits a personal milestone this episode, we cast a new ensign on the ship that doesn't know how to handle Kirk's crazy commands, and the boys decide their version of the Enterprise would have eject buttons all...
Day 2,468: Keeping It Simple
Really, really great therapy session today. Jillian helped me realize that my success comes not so much from the goals I set, but from demystifying the work itself that’s necessary to get there. Which is to say: focusing on the goal or the outcome doesn’t help me....
Day 2,467: Hell Yes It Would
I just crunched numbers on what it would take me to write (and rewrite) a book in two months, which is still twice as long as some people I know can do... It scares me. I think it would take me three hours a day, consistently, for 40 work days to do it. But,...
Day 2,466: All That Is Difficult…
All this difficult can become easy. The first word I thought of was ‘hard,’ but that’s not quite right. The opposite of ‘hard’ is ‘soft’ 😛 But ‘hard’ is what I was thinking of, in the sense of writing is hard. Doing pushups is hard. Working from home is hard. Until...
