Day 2,212: A Quick

Day 2,212: A Quick

Maaannn... Been freaking exhausted all day. All day today. BUT...sometimes those are the best work days. I wrote a good scene this morning. It was pure, true, vivid. A keeper. Working on getting there with the current scene. It's such a process with this book. So not...

Day 2,211: That Hard Sleep

Day 2,211: That Hard Sleep

Coco sleeps that hard sleep now. The old sleep, where it takes a second to wake her up. She doesn't hear me immediately, or smell me. I wake her gently, with a rub or two, and she's woozy for a second, and then she's up like she's always up. But, the sleep is harder...

Day 2,210: That Feeling When…

That feeling when you recorded a podcast episode, and then through a series of really stupid decisions, lost the recorded audio for that podcast. I could have saved the situation. I think that, specifically, is why this one is so hard to let go of. I could have saved...

Day 2,208: Success Runs Through Happiness

My success has always run a direct route right through my own level of happiness and contentment. I realized that at therapy today. What I fear about stepping away from Netflix is not that I won't or can't succeed. I already know I can. I've done it before. Several...

2,206: Swimming

I have to say...this 20 Books conference has been a bit overwhelming. And not in a bad way. Just...overwhelming. My head is swimming in a mixture of excitement, fear, possibilities, choices, upsides, downsides and plans, hopes, dreams, nightmares...it's a lot. I...

Day 2,204: 20Books Day One

The team killed it today. They really did amazing. Day one in the books, and night one too. I went to the Fantasy genre dinner and had a freaking blast. Those are my peeps. Maybe even more than SciFi nerds 😂 maybe they're equal...

Good lord today was busy. Flew to Vegas. Applied for SW cards on the plane and in the airport so that we can hopefully get the companion pass for the next two years. Checked into hotel and into the conference. Met with group of main volunteers for a luncheon at the...
