Day 1,665: Baseball, Brunch, and Basketball
Today was about Baseball, Brunch, and Basketball! Aka, the perfect Sunday 🙂 I don't know exactly why, but I love morning baseball. Whenever the A's take a trip east and they play a weekend series, I get at least a couple morning baseball games. It's awesome. I get to...
2018 Movie #27: Baby Driver
What a pleasant surprise this movie was! I feel like their marketing campaign didn't do enough to convey just how unique and inventive this movie really was...because it was DOPE. THE BLURB: Baby, a music-loving orphan also happens to be the prodigiously talented...
Day 1,664: The Contract
Every storyteller is offering a contract: they're reaching out their hand, saying "come with me, I want to show you something." They're saying "trust me. Let me lead the way, follow me, and I *promise* I won't let you down." I never forget someone who lives up to that...
2018 Movie #26: Deadpool 2
I was a huuuuge fan of the first Deadpool from two years ago. It was so unexpected, so fresh, so original...and just so *good*. So, could this sequel live up to that? Even after losing its director due to creative differences...? Yes and no. THE BLURB: Wisecracking...
Day 1,663: Short Memory
Professional athletes have short memories. So much of their work involves failure, they have to be able to let go of what has happened, and move forward. As writers (or any other kind of artist, really), we need to have short memories, too. Beating ourselves up over...
Day 1,662: Toolbag
We watched Deadpool 2 tonight, and... ...I shall SAVE my thoughts for the review 😛 Mwahahahaaa. Stay TUNED. Otherwise I had another one of those days where things kind of slipped away from me. I made some choices that kept me away from the writing chair...not gonna...
Day 1,661: Happiness
Happiness isn't what a lot of us think it is. A lot of us think that happiness is that feeling that comes when we eat incredible food, or right after we finish a really hard project and it turned out better than we hoped, or when we get to sleep in an extra half hour....
Day 1,660: Dramaz
Ugh. Drama fo yo mama. We're watching another building this week, and there were shenanigans over there that had to be attended to. Mussed up our evening! Luckily, I'd done alllllmost everything I needed to do today already. I wrote 2,000 words and only missed my last...
Day 1,659: 3K Day
My streak of Mondays continued today! I wrote 3,000 words, and I did it honestly without toooo much effort. I just set my timers, and I wrote. It does help that I'm writing an interesting section of the book, where some dominoes that I've set up are finally falling....
2018 Movie #25: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
The Rock, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and the actress who plays Nebula in Guardians and Avengers...all playing high school kids trapped in adult bodies? YES. I AM IN. Full stop, wanted to see this movie since it premiered, and I was not disappointed. THE BLURB: Four high...
