I'm so glad I'm going to therapy. For reals. That shit is the shit. I was doing a self check-in on my way there this morning and in the waiting room, and I realized, really realized how many stress triggers I'd gone through over the past two weeks. Finishing Story...

I had a much more productive day at home today. AND, I got to go see Liz at work with her new cast and crew. Merry Happy Whatever is the name of the show. Coming to Netflix this...holiday season? Not sure about that last part. We'll see. Cooper's been feeling under...

I had an interesting day today. I struggle to work from home. I'm not used to it now. I realized acutely today that I depend on going to work to get me into the working mindset. Which is, I guess, just a representation of how my work-at-home life has evolved over the...

Le sigh. Has to be another quick entry because it's so late already. Josh and I podcasted Easy Rider. It was...a trip. We had a blast watching it, and even more of a blast talking about it and "genre" beforehand. Odd day for me. I felt like I had to clean and...

Doing a quick one tonight because it's late, but today...was a great day. I did some writing. And I think I know, really for the first time, with clarity, why this Escape From Red Tower book has been so far to write. I've pinpointed the emotional truth that I haven't...

I've been thinking a lot about the "joy" since the Nebulas. Sally was the one who really nailed that for me in our all-too-brief sit-down together. We talked about my struggles lately, and she was right to point out that the joy was missing. I mean, like most...

Game of Trones is dun. Tonight's episode was 🤷‍♂️ By itself, it would have been astonishingly bad. Taken out of context, it would be like "...how is the the same show?" But IN context...it was the result of the horrible choices they made...

I went to the Nebula Awards dinner tonight. I...really enjoyed myself. The group I was with didn't win any of the awards they were nominated for. Unfortunately. But, I still enjoyed the speakers and the speeches, and generally just the celebration of artists by their...

I sent off my Story Grid Editor certification materials today. Whew. I hope they like them. Taking a break tonight from writing StoryGenius 3000. I'm really, reeaalllyyy tired. After sending off that 19-page document, I probably could have slept for the rest of the...

If you could write any story, Gary, what would you write? I dunno. A good one? What kind of question is that? I didn't mean to upset you. Who's upset? I just don't understand why you'd ask me a question like that. Any story. I'd write all of them. As long as they were...
