Day 1,658: Movie Night!

Day 1,658: Movie Night!

Tonight was movie night! 🙂 We had Aaron and Marie over, and we watched Jumangi: Welcome to the Jungle. It was really good, and the company was even better. I wrote juuuust shy of 1,000 words today, and I'm going to go for 3,000 words tomorrow, give or take. That...

Day 1,657: Long Lost

Day 1,657: Long Lost

Today was a raw day. Not sure why...it just was. I did a lot of reading. I watched a movie, Lion, and wrote a review of it. It was an Oscar contender a couple years ago, and I can see why. It's not a perfect movie, but what it lacks in the middle are more than made up...

2018 Movie #24: Lion

2018 Movie #24: Lion

Lion is based on one of the more incredible true stories I've ever heard, quite frankly. Does the film live up to that incredible story? Mostly, yes. THE BLURB: Five year old Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of miles across India, away from home...

Day 1,656: Pickups

Day 1,656: Pickups

It was a stressful day today. And not just for me and the Ho, for pretty much everyone on in television. But, such is life in Hollywood, sigh. I wrote good words today despite it all. Red Tower is finally, finally churning along. I'm ready for it to start sliding...

Day 1,655: Vidz

Day 1,655: Vidz

Man, I spent all day today putting together a 10-minute video. Le sigh. That's what it took, I suppose. The video was worth it. It's a very, VERY quick summary of our vacation. You have no idea. We have literally hours worth of videos and photos from that trip, and I...

Day 1,654: Who’s Counting?

Day 1,654: Who’s Counting?

For whatever reason, it strikes me as odd this evening that I still count my blog days. It goes back to the 90-day challenge I first committed to 3-and-a-half years ago. I numbered them then to make sure I did it for 90 days, and the convention just stuck, I guess. I...

Day 1,653: 3k Day

Day 1,653: 3k Day

Guys...I wrote 3,000 words today. Whaaaaaaaat. Liz asked me how I did it, what was the difference? It was a combination of two things: one, writing every day for the past two weeks (?), three weeks (?), and two, I'm setting story goals instead of word- or page-count...

Day 1,652: Back to Werk

Day 1,652: Back to Werk

I went "back to work" today. I put that air quotes because I've really been writing every day lately, even on vacation...and boy, do I have to tell you guys, that is a revelation. It's curing my productivity woes. I wrote almost 4,000 words on vacation. On vacation....

Day 1,651: Infinity War

Day 1,651: Infinity War

Making this a quick one tonight because it's already past 1am, and I gots writins to do tomorrow...but we finally saw Infinity War today, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend it. Whole-heartedly. This summer could be fun, y'all. Lots of stuff on the horizon that I...

2018 Movie #23: Avengers: Infinity War

2018 Movie #23: Avengers: Infinity War

It took Liz and me awhile to see it because we were out on vacation...but I do have to say: it was worth the wait. What a colossal project to put together and make work...and I enjoyed it! THE BLURB: Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers unite to...
