Day 1,945: En Media Res

Day 1,945: En Media Res

Day one of the Story Grid Editor Certification training...and I am all-in. It's amazing. A system by which to help a story be the best it can be. It's not fuzzy. It's not about intuition or interpretation...all that stuff is left in the realm of artistic license where...

Day 1,944: Nash to the Ville

I have to make this one quick tonight because I need to hit the hay...but I'm in Nashville. First time ever! Well, really outside of Nashville in a suburb called Franklin...but I am here in the land of Whisky and Guitars. I'm here to become a Certified Story Grid...

Day 1,943: Tentin Quarantino

Day 1,943: Tentin Quarantino

Podcasting is kinda the sh*t, y'all. It's so fun. I honestly recommend it for everyone. Who cares if anyone listens. You get the benefit of recording it...good discussions about things that you love. That's just good medicine, ya know? It's crazy...I've been...

Day 1,941: Audio Books

Tomorrow is my last day at Netflix for at least a week 😂 I wouldn't be surprised if I was back working again within a month or two. There always seems to be work to do there, you know? But, in the meantime, I have some writing to do... I feel better about my...

Day 1,939: A Mini Groove

I'm in a mini-groove. Praise be. I'm learning *so* *much* from reading these books and then scouring through their reviews. So. Much. Work is starting to enter the last push at the Flix. I leave next week for Nashville to learn me some Story Grid... Life is good....

Day 1,938: Flow State

Day 1,938: Flow State

Flow state is the best thing in the world. It doesn't matter what the activity is. That feeling of just reacting, not thinking, just doing...it's heaven. It's like...floating...but also being a badass master. Ya know? I've had that whilst writing. It was a while ago....

Day 1,937: A Quick One

Day 1,937: A Quick One

Day 1,936: Lazy Day

Today was about the laziest day I've had in a very long time. Being sick is no fun. At. All. Both the Ho and I were sick this week, basically taking turns. I took its toll on us, for sure. And today, we kinda sat out life in general. We slept. We watched some TV. I...
