Day 2,272: Make this one short, too

Day 2,272: Make this one short, too

More of an off day today, but still felt pretty packed. Le Sigh. This weekend was a tiring one. A *great* one, but definitely tiring. Watched the Niners beat the Packers handily to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. They're a really good team who've had a lot of...

Day 2,271: Disneyland Daze

Day 2,271: Disneyland Daze

Spent the day at Disneyland today in perhaps the longest single day I’ve ever done at that part. We were there at 8 in the morning till 11 at night. No joke. I think maybe in our heyday of going to DL we may have done something like that, but I doubt it. We usually...

Day 2,270: Shelley Are You Into This?

Day 2,270: Shelley Are You Into This?

Great night podcasting with Josh. We watched Jaws, which was soooo good. I gave it 5 stars. Spoiler. Josh was talking about it afterwards, but I always get such a feeling of accomplishment after we watch one of these movies. Breaking it down. Figuring out what it was,...

Day 2,269: Resilience

Day 2,269: Resilience

Resilience is on my mind tonight. My story still isn't quite there. There's still some relationship to be figured out, yet. Still internal wants and needs to be clarified...I hit up against that wall today when doing my scene analysis. In recent years and months, that...

Day 2,268: Alas Poor iPad

Day 2,268: Alas Poor iPad

Alas poor iPad... I left you at work. So here I am thumbing it. Soooo tired tonight. Blech. Need to get some sleep. So, keeping it short tonight. I know that's been the norm lately, but just haven't quite slipped into a sleeping routine again, yet. Still adjusting. My...

Day 2,267: Bundled

Day 2,267: Bundled

Coco is all bundled up in between Liz and I right now. We just had to clamp her down to give her eye drops. Oh, how she fights those every night. She's such a stubborn dog. She really is. Coopey is a pushover compared to Coco. That's my girl. Writing was good today. I...

Day 2,266: Le Quick

Day 2,266: Le Quick

Quick one because it's sleepy time: -writing was great today, feels like I'm back in a rhythm -work was great, too; staying ahead of my projects like a boss -hanging with bear at home was even greater; we started watching The Witcher. It's trash...but whatevs....

Day 2,265: The Gravel Road

Day 2,265: The Gravel Road

I have a favorite writing song. If you want to know what writing feels like for me, the days when the writing is good, listen to "The Gravel Road" by James Newton Howard. That's what it feels like. Exactly. It's from the film The Village, which isn't all that great....

Day 2,264: Relationship

Day 2,264: Relationship

I love building relationships in my stories. I love taking two people who don't like each other, two people who push each other's buttons, and having them find common ground, respect, and maybe even start to get along. Love that shit. I like writing the allies. I...

Day 2,263: Friyay

Day 2,263: Friyay

This was a rough week. Not emotionally. Nothing like that. I just mean...it wasn't smooth. It was rough in the sense that I was jumping back into my routine after not having been in that routine for a while, and it was all over the place. I had a good writing session...
