I think I may have nailed the central conflict between hero and villain in my book series. Finally. The villain has been so obscured to me thus far. I realized that I needed to wrap my brain around who he is, what he wants, what he represents and why. Particularly...

Liz is cracking up in bed next to me right now. She's texting with someone. She hasn't told me yet what she's laughing about. If it's repeatable, I'll tell you what it is. She's texting with Chris. That's what I know right now. She's still giggling. It's making the...

holy shit...it's been six years. This anniversary post snuck up on my this year. I can't remember if it did last year, too, but it did this year. Today was a day like most others. I got in my writing. I'm stressing about it right now because it's good...but it's not...

Liz is watching the hip hop Netflix show right now in bed, and it's really interesting. I totally get why they made it. They're even going on the road for auditions. I had...an off day today. Just in the sense that I felt anxious for much of the day. But, I still...

Man...my day was busy today. No nap. But, I don't feel exhausted. I got a lot of stuff done today that I wanted to and needed to get done...and that makes me feel good. We'll see if I feel it tomorrow. Niners destroyed the Panthers today. I've said it a few times, but...

You never know when breakthroughs are going to happen. It can be anything that sets them off. Any little thing. Or big thing. And then a moment of clarity. Ah. It's the freaking best feeling. I had one of those moments today with my story. And perfect timing, since...

Dubs got steamrolled tonight by, arguably, the early-season lock in the West for the Finals this year. It was an ugly loss on the offensive side. They gave up 46 in the 3rd quarter. They scored 122 points on the night, which is encouraging, but that defense. Yiiiikes....

I realized today looking at my number of posts that I must have repeated a number within the past month or so. Last night's blog entry was numbered #2,182...but really, it should have been #2,183. I just went at looked, and it was the weekend of J and Mike's wedding....

Still feeling totes out of my routine...but handling it. Today was more low key on the work front, which was nice. Had a great writing sesh to start the day, did work, and then finished just early enough to head over and do podcasting a little earlier than...
