Day 2,520: One Off
I’ve been one off on my day count for the past couple weeks. Oops. Not surprised, though. It’s been a BUSY mother of two weeks. Just had a nice little writing session. They’re getting better, goddamnit. Truly, truly better. This opening sequence is working for me. I...
Day 2,519: The Flow
Had to say no to something today because I didn’t like the flow. We were very close to saying yes, but it just wasn’t right in the end, so we had to say no. Which was hard. It’s hard to realize you’ve wasted someone else’s time. It makes me feel foolish. And I have...
Day 2,518: So Fast
Things continue to move fast. We’re barreling towards something exciting and overwhelming and nerve wracking and wonderful. We’re not there yet on this particular project of which I won’t name—not yet—but we’re getting close. Wish us luck. That’s taking most of my...
“The Practical Joker” (Star Trek: The Animated Series S2 Ep3)
KIRK IS A JERK! The Enterprise keeps pulling wacky, zany, practical jokes on its crew, Ira remembers watching this episode when he was only three or four years old, we debate who on the Enterprise can take a joke, and we both do a deep dive on what we watched as kids...
Day 2,517: So Fast
Things move fast sometimes. That’s what I find myself thinking about tonight. Most of the time, things move slow. Too slow, even. And we kind of count on that, the slowness. But, then they surprise you and move quickly. I had a good Sunday, guys. Finally. A couple...
Day 2,516: Coco’s Nose
Making it a quick one tonight. Been a hell of a week. Not all bad at all, to be sure, but intense...also, to be sure. Ran around town today with Liz. Been doing a lot of that lately and I see it keeping up as long as we’re working on this particular project. Talked...
Day 2,515: I’m Every Woman
Long day. Long week...but a good one. Genuinely. This week has had it’s ups and downs, but for me personally, at least, it was a very good week. The world continues to burn. Rest in peace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. You were a champion for women, and you can never be...
Day 2,514: I Can’t Go Back
The last few weeks have been a struggle. I’ve struggled to write. I’ve struggled to work out. I’ve felt tired, overwhelmed and burned out. I know I’ve talked about that to some degree during that time, but I don’t think I’ve talked about it enough. I’ve fallen out of...
Day 2,513: Two Full Weeks
Man...I went through two full weeks without writing. Damn. I fixed that today, though. The good news is that the book is still right there, raring to go. The story is great. The scene I’m working on is almost fully assembled...it was a good writing day. Work was...
Day 2,512: A Good Day
Today was a good day. Thank lawd, it was a good day. Work went great. Writing just now went great, I had a great, great idea for this opening sequence, a true crisis moment just presented itself and it’s so simple and so clear...it’ll be a cinch to write. What is a...
