I feel remarkably gassed for having had a day off. That worries me a bit, considering I have two full-on writing days ahead of me to cap off the best writing week I've ever had...but I won't be deterred. If I'm tired tomorrow, so be it. I can keep going. I'm reading...

I've written eight thousand words on my rewrite in the past two days. TWO DAYS. It's a minor miracle. No, it's a major one. I could not have DREAMED of doing this even...two months ago. For context, that's about 32 pages, or 1/10th of a full-length novel. In two days....

How do you feel when you look at old photos? To be honest, until this blog came about, I've always preferred to look into the future as opposed to the past. I know that's part my innate personality, and part insecurity. I look at old photos, and I feel awkward most of...

Quick entry tonight because it's already bed time: I had a wonderful Sunday. Perhaps not as sleepy and nappy as I'd hoped, but I got to sleep in a bit, and that was awesome. Watched the A's beat the Giants to win the Bay Bridge Series trophy for this year, I had a...

I just saw a post from an author...they wrote a 60,000-word book in 10 days. I can do that. Maybe not yet...but, shit...I *can* do that. I've written 6,000 words in a day. It's very, very doable. It's 4-6 hours of focused writing in a work day. And I can do that for...

Man, today was awwwwssoommmeee. I'm in on my rewrite. It has begun, and it is GOOD. For now. I'm sure I'll hate it in a weeks' time, but this is really the major win: I knew today instantly that this rewrite was worth the time. It's going to take me a bit to finish,...

Today was a recharge day. Not planned, but it was anyway. I have this "ideal" of working my ass off for four days of the week, and taking it easy-er the other three days. Write like the dickens four days, write not as much three days. I never seem to stick to that...

I learned today about the value of pushing through. I was writing, and the words were good...but they weren't great. They were missing something. I couldn't figure out what it was, but I knew it in my gut, and because writing is still so new to me, has been so up and...

This post, somehow, has been lost. I'm not sure how, but it has been. I'm writing this on July 23, 2019. Just over a year after this day happened. Apparently I played golf with Josh. How apt, given that I'm planning to see him tomorrow in the here and now. But, here's...
