Another day hijacked today, le sigh. It’s Joy. She got us up throughout the night again, and then had tummy issues again in the morning. So back to the vet we went, except nobody had an appointment today, so that meant the ER. Sigh. She’s okay. Ultrasound was clean of...

Today was not the day I finished. But I grinded. I left too much of the end of my outline unfinished. That, in a nutshell, is the reason for the slowdown. It’s cost me probably…three weeks? Wild! But true. It doesn’t matter. I’m still right at the finish line. One...

Whew. So…today got hijacked starting at 3 in the morning when Joy starting waking up every couple hours to go outside. She peed, pooped, and then started puking. She was normal after that for breakfast and walks, but then starting around lunchtime she started to get...

Hey, so Widow’s Bay on Apple TV+ is fun! Three episodes in and it’s very funny. And our friend was in the last episode, which was amazing. She did great. Truly…very much enjoying the show so far. I worry it’s heading towards all-of-the-everything type premise, like...

Had a really good day of writing today. Very productive. Not quite as many pages as I wanted, but damn near close. And some of them involved reimagining some stuff, so there’s that. Tomorrow should be even better. Whew. Wiped. A little zonked, but mostly just wiped....

Very, very close to finishing this book. Need to push push push. I didn’t have the kick ass day today I thought I might, but that’s okay. It’s happening tomorrow. You heard it here first. It is happening tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll finish, but I’m getting a really...

I didn’t get six pages today, but I did realize a scene needed to go differently. A character needs to make a different choice. So, that was nice. It was just a reminder to always, always trust my gut. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t write it. Come up with...

Awwww yeah. Six pages, bitches. That was the goal today, and I hit it. Finally. We’re back! Ready to finish this MFer. It’s bed time already. So…niiiiiight.

The trick to writing is not giving up. Truly. If it boils down to one single thing, it’s that. Just don’t give up. Because you will want to. Resistance will come hard for you, with all the hard questions that you don’t have answers for, at least not yet…and that’s...

Joy is on the mend. There was a period last night where she got a little restless. I think we needed to give her more pain meds. Maybe. But I snuggled with her and she calmed down so quick I fell back asleep. We’re going to be more regimented on her pain/anxiety meds,...
