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...

Day 2,262: Coco Interrupted

Day 2,262: Coco Interrupted

Today was rough for a very simple reason: Coco woke me up at 2:30 in the morning because she wasn't feeling well. Poo explosion. Vomit, too. Poor baby. And THEN I couldn't get back to sleep. I tossed and turned for what turned out to be almost three hours, because......

Day 2,261: Another Quick

Day 2,261: Another Quick

Making this one quick again tonight! It's time for sleeps. Want to get a full 8 hours, and the only way to do that is to get my head on the pillow early enough. Work was great today. Writing was brief, but surprisingly good! That was a relief. Then, I got to go...

Day 2,260: Quick

Day 2,260: Quick

Back in. Today felt normal. Felt very insecure about what I wrote, but...that felt normal too 😂 Especially considering it's the first time I've done writing sessions in a while. Trying to not let it bug me, and succeeding for the most part. But I'm always...

Day 2,259: Chuffs

Coco. A pea in a green blanket pod. The green rises and falls as she breathes in Breathes out. She’s making coffee now It steeps with each little burble of her breath She sounds like a coffee maker Falling asleep. She makes the noises for me. So I know she’s happy....
