Day 2,197: Mad as hell

Day 2,197: Mad as hell

Doing a quick one tonight. Casted with Josh tonight. We watched a movie from the 70s called Network and it was...bonkersssss. And in a surprising, good way that kind of swept me away. Mostly. It didn't quite fire on all cylinders, but holy shit is it a relevant movie...

Day 2,196: It’s working

Day 2,196: It’s working

I touched the abyss this weekend. I realize that now...and it actually made me feel better. I know that's weird to say, but this is how... The abyss, it would seem for me, is working, working and working and not making progress. It's being stuck. Not moving forward....

Day 2,195: Quitting is an option

Day 2,195: Quitting is an option

I feel...much better today. Still anxious. Still unsure. But the depression is better. Thank lord. I realized something, though, yesterday in the depths of that depression: quitting is an option. I don't have to do anything. I get to decide. And man...that somehow...

Day 2,194:

I sometimes wonder if I would be happier if I gave up writing. It's just so hard. I'm up against the same block with this story. It's one central relationship, and I can't wrap my brain around it, and it makes everything so unpleasant. It sucks the air out of the...

Day 2,193: The Perfect Week

Day 2,193: The Perfect Week

My first ever perfect week of writing. I wish I felt more exuberant about it, but I'm bogged down on a scene currently and thus I'm grumpy about my writing. Sigh... Feeling burned out. Looking forward to a weekend of recharging. Night!

Day 2,192: Hope over hopelessness

Day 2,192: Hope over hopelessness

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...

Day 2,191: Cracking Up

Day 2,191: Cracking Up

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...

Day 2,190: Six Years

Day 2,190: Six Years

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...

Day 2,189: TIP

Day 2,189: TIP

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...

Day 2,188: Busy Sunday

Day 2,188: Busy Sunday

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...
