We leave for Maui in the morning. I. Am. Excited. I do have to say, however...it is just not the same house without the pups. They went over to spend the night with Kristen and Argeesht since they're taking care of them whilst we're away. Yes. I am "that kind" of dog...

It's late, so this shall be a quick one. I had a middling day of writing today - 1,300 words. Two and a half sessions. I woke up tired. It seems to just happen that way with me sometimes 😜 But, what I did write was good. And even some rewriting. Swapping out a...

I feel like I had two whole days today, all wrapped into one. I wrote today till 2pm and got 2,300 words done. Enough for another full sequence, and a start on the next one. I was very, very happy about that. I don't think I've ever done that, written so many words by...

So, I wrote 3,000 words today. It was one long sequence of the book that I'd already written...but here we are. It's better now. MUCH better. Like, it has my neurons firing and exploding, 'better.' I'm sure frustration days will pop up again a few times over the next...

Liz and I watched Coco tonight, the Pixar movie from last year, and it was *wonderful*. Really, really enjoyed it. It was exciting, touching, visually stunning, and signature-ly Pixar. Bravo! 🙂 Today started early! I woke up a full hour and a half earlier than usual...

Sean Manaea, one of the A's younger starting pitchers, threw a no-hitter tonight against the best team (and, arguably, best offense) in baseball! The Ho and I got to watch it live together. It was pretty magical. I remember the last no-hitter I watched. It was 8 years...

Quick entry today! The Ho and I had a long day of driving around LA today doing errands 😛 I checked A LOT of things off my list that I'd been putting off, and I'm glad I did. And doing errands is always so much more fun with Liz to do them with. We had delicious...

Finally...a solid writing day. I wrote 1,500 *excellent* words today. This scene, this particular mechanism in my story, is *poppin*. I'm interested in it. It finally makes SENSE, and I'm digging it. It's an asset to the story now. I realized today that when I find...

Breakthrough! Oh, Lordy...I finally had a good breakthrough day today. Finally! Finally. I had a one-on-one about a month ago with an author far more advanced than I, and one of my takeaways from that conversation was that there should be a separation between...
