Day 1,750: Word Storm!

Day 1,750: Word Storm!

I'm back, bitches. BACK, I SAY! I wrote 4,000 words today. Like a boss is wont to do. They were pretty good words, too. I'm figuring out this troublesome section, having characters actually taking actions and asking questions that make sense. It's a relief. I was...

2018 Movie #55: The Meg

2018 Movie #55: The Meg

True story: the Ho and I have been looking forward to seeing this movie ever since the first trailer came out for it in the early parts of this year. We love summer popcorn movies. We love sharks, and we love dinosaurs, thus we love megalodons. HOW COULD IT NOT BE...

Day 1,749: Quicker

Day 1,749: Quicker

Doing a quick entry tonight because it's sleepy time. I wrote a crap-ton of movie reviews today, trying to catch up on that. I have a good dozen more to do, give or take, so I'll try and break those up over the week. Maybe. We'll see. It's just another thing on the...

Day 1,748: Dem Pups

Day 1,748: Dem Pups

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...

Day 1,747: An odd week…

Day 1,747: An odd week…

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...

Day 1,746: Outlining and Golf

Day 1,746: Outlining and Golf

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,...

Day 1,745: Tennissssssss

Day 1,745: Tennissssssss

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:...

Day 1,744: Outlining

Day 1,744: Outlining

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...

Day 1,743: Brainstorming and the Wall

Day 1,743: Brainstorming and the Wall

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...

Day 1,742: Getting There

Day 1,742: Getting There

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...
