It’s sleep time! Gotta make this quick... Writing was rough in the morning for the first half, and then like a cold engine warming up, I started to roll. Writing in the afternoon was excellent. Tonight, too. Work was super productive. Hell yes. Music today was...

Had a more normal day today. Didn’t crush it. But, it was solid. Writing has been hard this past week. Part of it has been work being so busy, it’s taken up my usual writing times. But, part of it is just intimidation. Avoidance. And here’s the thing: I’m realizing...

Guys, my dogs are the gd cutest. Coops just laid down on top of Liz, like full snuggle status. We washed the bedding and...damnit, the coverlet is still a little damp. Blech. I dried it for almost two hours! It’ll dry by morning though. It’s almost dry. Coco just had...

Sorted through a lot of old stuff today. I’m getting rid of a lot of it, and I’m hanging onto a decent bit, too. I’ve always enjoyed the process of sorting through a messy pile of stuff, getting rid of most of it, and keeping the stuff that really means something to...

I might have just met one of my new characters for the first time. I’ve been struggling with this opening scene, and one of the reasons I’ve been struggling is because I just haven’t put my finger yet on just who this person is. I might have figured that out a little...

Just had a small win: had a little breakthrough on a scene. Pro tip: if you’re ever writing a scene, particularly an EARLY scene for a new character, and it’s just not feeling right? Take a look at whether they’re the most active in the scene, or if someone else is....

I’ve written about ‘finishing energy’ on this blog before, for sure, but I am in the MIDST of that shit right now. It always takes so much more time and effort than I think. Every time. But...damn if it isn’t always a rush at the same time. What I’m about to finish is...
