I feel like my day got torpedoed at the end...or more like I torpedoed it. It was a mix of both, to be honest. I got behind with work, and that made me available late to go and get my afternoon writing session in...and then there wasn't anywhere available to write. I...

I've had one of the best Sundays in a while, today. I can't tell you exactly why it was so good. I mean, I can: I got everything done I wanted to get done...but in terms of WHY I was able to get all that stuff done and feel so good about it? I don't know. Except maybe...

I was taking in therapy today about how much comfort and safety I get from my routines. I've been out of those routines here for a little while with all the traveling and stuff from the month. And here's the thing: I always look forward to traveling. Genuinely. I...

Man, writing is a gd rollercoaster for me right now. The ups and downs. I had a breakthrough on this scene today. I was tired as fuck, but I got to work on time and I sat down and I banged out my morning session and there it was: the scene I'd been looking for. Magic....

You ever wake up grumpy? No reason, just foul? I freaking almost never do that. I'm a happy waker. Or, at the very least, I'm a tired zombie waker. Not today. I woke up grumpy. Stayed that way, just feeling in a funk, till around lunch time...and then some time in the...

I wrote all three sessions today. That's a win. The writing wasn't great. I'm on a sequence of scenes that clearly need to be fixed. They're not working. They're not ringing true. There's an emotional truth that's not being observed. So...I'm working and reworking...

It's different this time around, the writing. I can feel a bullshit scene right now. I can sniff it much better and clearer than I used to...this most recent scene that stuck me in the mud--which came at the worst possible time, too, since it was in the midst of all...

Home and wiped the eff out. Whew! Traveling was pretty easy peasy, praise be. So glad to be home with the pups. Gonna pass out. Night!

Had breakfast today at the diner across the street from our hotel. It was okay. We both got bagels and lox. Satisfying, but nothing crazy special. Joe Hill, the writer, was randomly also there. I guess he's doing a signing over at Powell's tomorrow. Then, we came back...

Julianne and Mike have joined houses. Three cheers for the Weston-Ho clan! The wedding was absolutely gorgeous. It was cold af, but that's why I brought a nice warm sweater 🙂 And the cold was actually perfect becaaauuuseee...a storm was rolling in. But it didn't roll...
