Day 4,276: Grit

Day 4,276: Grit

A proper day off today. Whew. I needed it. I even got some work done out in the front yard. The hole is finally large enough for the entire parking space. Now, I have to level it, making sure it’s a consistent 4 inches deep everywhere. Then, I put down weed barrier...

Day 4,275: Pilcrow

Day 4,275: Pilcrow

It was…a wonky day off, somehow. I enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong. It was just…floaty, I guess. I did a bunch of random stuff including getting my car washed, buying a hand soil tiller and a pick axe so I can work on the front yard in the morning, I read Shakespeare,...

Day 4,274: Shane!

Day 4,274: Shane!

We watched Porco Rosso tonight for the ‘cast. It was…fun. Charming. Some beautiful art…but I think it might actually be Miyazaki’s first ever swing and a miss. It’s hard to figure out what he was going for, actually, like, thematically, which is interesting because...

Day 4,273: Outside

Day 4,273: Outside

Sitting outside right now while Snacks and Joy run around together because they didn’t get to earlier in the evening. They’re so funny. They’re completely at ease with each other. The trust is absolute. They’re family. It’s because they met each other at just the...

Day 4,272: Two Nine Four

Day 4,272: Two Nine Four

I’m surprised it hasn’t been a struggle this week. I was tired today…but I got my writing done pretty much on automatic. I’m flyin’. Almost 300 pages. I’ll hit that landmark tomorrow. And almost into act three, ie- the last 25% of story, where all the showdowns...

Day 4,271: Tacro

Day 4,271: Tacro

Another day of crank. God, wasn’t meth called ‘crank’ for a hot minute, there in like the 80s or something? I think it was meth. I do not mean meth. I mean PAGES, baby. Another 12 today. And I got all my Netflix work done, AND significant progress on putting together...

Day 4,270: Mr. Silk

Day 4,270: Mr. Silk

Got the writing done today. Woot! I have this feeling that this week might be a little bit of a struggle…but that I’m going to get my shit done anyway. Just have that feeling. And then hopefully next week the feeling will be: this week is gonna be a breeze. But right...

Day 4,269: Pearls

Day 4,269: Pearls

Joy is curled up against me so tight right now and she is paaassseeddd out. It’s the best best feeling. A good Sunday. Wolfie time. Nap. Bear time. Now…sleep time. Night night!

Day 4,268: She Is Love

Day 4,268: She Is Love

Had a nice off day. Whew! Spent some QT with Liz too in the evening. We went and checked our PO Box and got some milk tea boba together and watched another episode of Andor. We’re halfway in and it’s…fine. A far cry from season one, but it’s fine. Second seasons are...

Day 4,267: Did It

Day 4,267: Did It

Two claw-it-back writing days in a row and here I am on another Friday feeling proud of myself for getting my sh*t done. Whew! Man. It wasn’t even particularly hard today. I was pretty locked in. What a relief. Still down slightly on the page count…but nothing major....
