I am struck this evening by how perfect dem pups are. Cuz they are PERFECT. So sweet. So snuggly. So into treats. We went out tonight to a birthday part in Hollywood, Los Feliz to be precise, and it was just about the most hollywood-y party we'd ever been to. For...

This was...an odd week. I don't feel like I was a rock star this week. Not like I felt the previous two. This week was a lot less of the "I can fucking do this" and a lot more of the "jfc, am I ever going to crack this story. Which is to say, it was a dramatic week of...

I had an excellent day outlining today. Some really, really good ideas both for adjustments to make on what I've already written, and ideas on finishing this bad boy up. I'm essentially "losing" a week here by doing this outlining stuff, but it was necessary. So very,...

Omg. What a busy day! I got a toooonnn of stuff done today. Little bit of the writing, some household chores, some email stuff--which is annoying, btw; my email list provider is on the fritz again and I think it's time to move along, ughhhhh--and then the best part:...

I spent the day outlining today, and I accomplished my goal, which was to get all the way through to the end. I had some good new ideas...the story is still fuzzy in parts, which I'll continue working on tomorrow, but it IS getting there. I do, at the very least, have...

Ran aground with the story again. There's this section from the end of last week that just wasn't working, and it was streessssinnnggg me the frack out. Sometimes the bits that aren't working are minor, and I can just write a note and move one. But sometimes they're...

Liz and I watched It tonight and...it was not what I was expecting. At least as a whole. I...really liked it. A lot. I was in. I'm in on the next movie. Can't wait to see it. Now, I didn't think It was a perfect movie. It wasn't mind-blowing or anything. But, it was...

I had a day of planning today. Awhile ago, I kinda got into this task organization system dubbed "GTD" by the biz community, short for Getting Things Done. This is back when I was really struggling to get words on the page, and I realized that part of that problem was...

Tonight's entry is a quick one because it's sleepy time and I am tired AF. After 4,000+ words today, I'm at 55,000 words for the novel rewrite, which means I've written almost 30,000 words in just under two weeks. Incredible. I definitely feel a bit over my head, like...

Man...today was ROUGH writing-wise. Good lord. It was like pulling teeth...at first. And then, around my halfway point in my day, it got better. I pushed through the bullshit. I started writing on, well not *autopilot* because that would kind of imply that was not...
