Happy Birthday to quite literally the best man I know: my dad. I'm keeping this entry short tonight because it's already 2am and I've been up since 5:30am (with a one hour nap before dinner)...but I owe so much of who I am as a grown adult man to my father. He's one...

You know...there's always a post-milestone malaise for me, at least emotionally. See, I actually did work today. I got some outlining and brainstorming done for By Any Other Name, some good stuff...but no actual words on the page. Sigh. And, that's the let-down, I...

Woof. I spent the entire day today taking care of the building. It's always more work when we have a vacancy to fill, and this time, we have TWO. One was an inch away from being filled today, and in the end, they backed out. It happens all the time 😛 Hopefully,...

Writing a quick on tonight because I have to get eeaarrrlllyyyy 🙄 and it's late. I stayed up to watch the Warriors game, and I'm glad I did. Steph Curry TORCHED the Wizards tonight. He was absolutely incredible. 51 points in three quarters and 30-something...

It's been a while since I talked about journaling, and why I've been doing it daily (and publicly) for almost five years now. But, I have a friend who's just starting to journal, and it made me think about why I picked this habit up, and why I've stuck with it....

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...

First thought: what the balls is happening in this photo??? 😂 K. Moving on. Le Sigh. Today was better. Things felt less like they were exploding, falling apart, and otherwise changing forever. Which, to be clear, was always hyperbole. They weren't actually...

Today was rough. Feeling rather trapped and hopeless...nothing to do with Liz and I; that is rock solid. Nothing to do with health, or family. Those are also rock solid. Just feeling...I guess frustrated and exhausted. And like a failure. I know I'm not. I realize...
