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....

A quick one. I procrastinated on getting the podcast out for tomorrow morning and so I'm getting to bed about a half hour late. Uuuuggghhhhh. But, I had a great weekend. All the laundry is done. The bedding included. Got a haircut. Took a shower. Podcast will be out...

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...

Under the weather here at the Ho-Heinichen household on this here Valentine's Day...but we still turned it out. We went to dinner at Here's Looking At You in Koreatown and it was SO GOOD. Love that restaurant. Oh! And also: my Netflix building had to be locked down...

Day 1,933: Peaks and Valleys

Ups and downs, y'all. Today was an up. I was exhausted. Didn't want to put in my writing session. Wanted to come home early. I didn't, and I ended up writing the rest of the first chapter on Old Ironsides. I also downloaded a bunch of other Military-ish SF books for...

Day 1,932: Ask For Help

Day 1,932: Ask For Help

Last night was down on the writing. Tonight won't be. I can't claim to have any breakthrough in my process except for this: it's always worth the heartache when the breakthrough finally comes, and I get the write the end. I feel like that flies in the face a bit of my...

Day 1,931: Better!

Day 1,931: Better!

Feeling better! I did indeed stay home from work today, but I've been fever-free for over twelve hours now. Add in a truly massive nap from around 11am to 4pm and I feel like a new man! If only the feelings about writing were any better... I'm having a full on crisis,...
