Day 1,987: Ahhhhh

Day 1,987: Ahhhhh

Man, there is nothing like a hot shower after a long day. That shit feels soooo goooood. I had a very productive day today. I'm reading the second book in my Story Grid Certification materials, Carolina Moon, and I'm already (just shy of) halfway through it! It's a...

Day 1,986: don’t like it

Day 1,986: don’t like it

I have to make tonight's entry another short one because it's already time for bed, and I don't like it. I need to start getting ready for bed earlier. Like, a good 15 to 30 minutes. Uuuuuggghhh. Good night y'all. 'Twas a good day today 🤓

Day 1,985: It was both

Day 1,985: It was both

Today was both a good day and a stressful day. It was a good day because I got a metric shit ton of work done. All the little straggly bits from my week that I didn't finish, plus a lot more. AND a decent amount that stuff were things that took real energy, real...

Day 1,984: Easy Peash

Day 1,984: Easy Peash

Today, I went with the flow. I accidentally went to therapy an hour early. I shook my head, chuckled at myself, and just took a walk and looked at 4K TVs at the Best Buy down the street. There were like three or four other things that didn't go as planned today...but...

Day 1,983: Whew

Day 1,983: Whew

This week was a relief, you guys. I felt like me. I didn't get a ton of writing done, but goddamnit, I felt like ME. And I *did* get shit done this week. I put in my time. I didn't over-achieve or even try to...I just achieved. I have a much better, much less...

Day 1,982: Birthyear

Day 1,982: Birthyear

Tonight's entry number is the year I was born. Crazy! I'm feeling better. This week has been a good one for my psyche. I feel calm, focused, and energetic. At least until I get home, and then I feel tired. But that, I think, is normal. Got my new project for work...

Day 1,981: A Quick

Day 1,981: A Quick

I had good ideas today. Clear. Ideas that I think work. I'd been doubting the beginning of my book. It was feeling too hard. Too much. Too complicated. But that was the darkness, not the light. The clarity I had today on how to start this story solidified that it was...

Day 1,980: It’s Decided

Day 1,980: It’s Decided

I finished reading the first book of my Story Grid certification requirements today. The Killer Angels. It was pretty good. Dragged in parts. Not a book that made me really feel anything, BUT...it was rather spectacular in its ability to bring to life those several...

Day 1,979: Whatever Comes Out

Day 1,979: Whatever Comes Out

Finished watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, season 2. It was really good. Except for the last two episodes. Which is a shame, because endings really matter so much, don't they? We, as an audience, are so much more willing to forgive a bad beginning, or even a bad...

Day 1,978: Better Days

Day 1,978: Better Days

I have a cycle I run through whenever I get depressed. I've just recently realized it. I get anxious about something until it builds to some kind of breaking point. After that, I feel depressed, and my mind and body go into shutdown/recovery mode. I take a break......
