Day 2,296: Night

Day 2,296: Night

Need to sleep early-ish tonight because I need to get up early-ish tomorrow morning. Have a bit of work to finish before I meet with my editor that I didn’t finish today. And then totally forgot to work on in the evening. Need to fix that. Evening is not the time for...

Day 2,295: Fifty Fifty

Day 2,295: Fifty Fifty

I realized in therapy today that I’ve undergone a pretty colossal shift in my writing day in terms of the ratio between good and bad. It used to be 90/10. 90 percent bad days. 10 percent good. And it was that paltry ten percent and sheer will power that kept me...

Day 2,294: Irdi

Day 2,294: Irdi

Came up with a new character tonight. Was feeling a bit of the old inspiration, and decided to write on a different project for a minute or two before bed. Glad I did. It was dope. Great opening. Solid day today, overall. I just kinda...just DID it, you know? I didn’t...

Day 2,293: Sick Coco

Day 2,293: Sick Coco

Coco has chronic bowel issues. She’s had them for a while now, since March of last year, we realized today, but recently they’ve been a lot worse. Especially the last couple days. Lots of blood. So, we took her into the ER today to expedite the process of getting her...

Day 2,292: Goodbye Scene

Day 2,292: Goodbye Scene

Writing a goodbye scene tonight. Been building up to it for a while, but not even realizing it. Not until I got here. But it’s absolutely the scene this entire story has been building up to till now. One character is asking another to come with them...but they can’t....

Day 2,291: A streak

Day 2,291: A streak

I low-key have a nice little writing streak going. It’s the second straight day I’ve written 1,000 words in one sitting. The anxiety about the words is still there in the sense that I know what I’ve written isn’t quite working yet. It’s unjustified. BUT...and here’s...

Day 2,290: A Quick

Day 2,290: A Quick

Have to make this a quick one because it’s late, but we just finished watching the Scorsese classic Taxi Driver. It was a great recording. Can’t wait to put it out. Lots of interesting discussions. Work was busy today, which I liked. Writing was good, too! I wrote...

Day 2,289: Petrick’s Dream

Day 2,289: Petrick’s Dream

I was able to articulate something tonight that’s eluded me for a very long time with the story I’m working on. Articulated it in a way that bears no second guessing, because it hits me right in the truth spot, right where I can really, really feel it wide and deep. I...

Day 2,288: Once Upon A Time…

Day 2,288: Once Upon A Time…

We watched Once Upon A Time in Hollywood tonight and it was...underwhelming. The movie is fine. It’s not bad. But when people are throwing around Best Picture and “masterpiece” talk...holy shit I’d like to smoke what those people are smoking because this FINE movie is...

Day 2,287: We’re Going Back In Tiiime

Day 2,287: We’re Going Back In Tiiime

I have that song “we’re going back in tiiiime” stuck in my head for some reason. Haven’t listened to it. It just popped in my head. I wonder why that happens? Those random songs or phrases or whatever that just slip into our thoughts. Today was...decent. I didn’t get...
