Hit another mile marker on the road to "finished" today: I completed the rough draft of Starstuff 2: Electric Boogaloo. Deja vu? Quite. See, I've finished a rough draft of this particular story twice before. This is the third "rough draft." And...it shall be the FINAL...

I'm reading The Hero of a Thousand Faces right now. It's a book I was first exposed to in High School. I took an elective English class called Mythology, and my teacher talked a lot about the book, the collective unconscious, the "monomyth," and the Hero's Journey....

I am SO. CLOSE. Two chapters away. Maybe three. The manuscript is at 98,000 words. It's finally, finally coming together. Still work to do, for sure. This rewrite will be a beast, methinks...but it's coming together. What needs to be fixed, and how, is getting...

Coops has a really itchy spot on his back, right along his spine, that I've been scratching for him lately. What I do is put my other hand along his belly so that when his little leg gets going whilst I scratching, it doesn't actually scratch his skin, it goes up...

Today...I guess today was a bit of another recovery day. We had to run an open house for our building, which meant I couldn't leave. I had to stay home. The girls went out to the beach along with Mike, and I took the opportunity to have a quiet Sunday. I feel out of...

Making this a quiiiick one tonight because it's already bed time 😛 Went to Lost Spirits today after doing an open house for our building. Then came home and watched some football with Mike and ate deeelicioouussss poke, took a nap, walked pups, and then hung out with...
