Day 1,958: Time To Save Daylight!

Day 1,958: Time To Save Daylight!

Guys! It's finally back to savings time, aka not getting dark at 4 in the afternoon. Undoubtedly, this is the harder switch; getting used to going to bed early, getting up an hour earlier. That sucks. But the time itself does not 🙂 I had another very productive day....

Day 1,957: Late

Day 1,957: Late

Man...it's late again, so I'm (again!) going to make this rather quick. I had another excellent day. Perhaps not quite as anxiety-free as my day yesterday or the day before, but I'm on a roll right now in terms of keeping my to-do lists under control and actually...

Day 1,956: I’m Back…

Day 1,956: I’m Back…

I'm back. I had a wonderful day today. Wonderful. Got building stuff done pretty much first thing, beyond walking the pups and eating breakfast, both of which I was able to do on time. Then I had time to edit down the Film School episode for this week, which is...

Day 1,955: Kleen

Day 1,955: Kleen

Y'all...it's only one small step (for mankind), but the floors of my apartment are CLEAN. I scrubbed 'em down. Feels nice on my feets. Had to leave for a hot minute there and get my writing done for the day and come back. I'm back. Got in nearly 500 words in like 10...

Day 1,954: Genre

Day 1,954: Genre

Had an extended discussion today with Josh about "genre," a holdover from my time out in Nashville. I love podcasting with that dude. We recorded another great one today watching The French Connection. Certainly not our favorite of the films we've watched thus...

Day 1,953: Fun

Day 1,953: Fun

You guys...I just had a fun writing session. Jesus, I don't know how long it's been since that was the case, but it just happened. And maaann...I know why. It's because I was writing a scene I knew worked. Mystery. Intrigue. Action. Clear genre, clear stakes....

Day 1,952: Off Count?

Day 1,952: Off Count?

I might be off count again on the blog numbers. I'm not quite sure. At the very least, I know that I've been counting correctly for the past three months. Before that? Not sure. I just saw with a new sidebar feature that gives me post counts by category that I might...

Day 1,951: Uncomfortable

Day 1,951: Uncomfortable

This week was a challenging one. Mentally. Physically. I stretched myself this week. It was exciting, overwhelming, uncomfortable at times, and I thought a lot about how this feeling of things whirling around me, moving fast, feeling as though I wasn't on solid...

Day 1,950: Hooooommee

Day 1,950: Hooooommee

Super short entry again tonight because I am snuggled in my bed at HOME. Oohhhhh how good it feels. Travels today were bumpy, literally, but otherwise easy peasy. Dallas has a very shiny new terminal for Southwest. And it's wet and rainy, like, everywhere in the...
