So, the book has run aground these past two days, which is so, soooo frustrating...but there is a difference, folks. There truly is...I'm putting in the time. I really am. I did a lot of free-writing today, trying to wrap my brain around why I was frozen, why this...

I spent all of my time, almost, brainstorming today for a set of scenes that are just not quite working yet. They're still fuzzy, and fuzzy translates as LAZY on the page. I *did* put in my time, however, and I wrote 250 actual new words once the opening to the scene...

Do you remember the Star Wars boxed set of VHS tapes? The ones we grew up watching, with all the frayed edges of the cardboard, and the making-of documentary that would play before the first movie (I think?). Those were the movies of my childhood. For my family, we'd...

Not sure what to call the entry tonight... It was a weird Saturday. I kind of went through the paces today. I'm not sure why...but I did. The writing was still good. I did get it done. 800 words. Good words, too. The scene is working. It solved a plot problem I...

It was a rough week writing-wise...but it ended on an upswing, folks. If any of my beta readers are reading this entry tonight, you folks are my saviors. You forced me to push past my malaise this week, and crank out pages for you. It took me almost all day, but I hit...

You know, 2018 is the year of setting up my "routine." It really is. Because my "routine" is what's going to get me the words written that I want to write. It's the BREAK in that routine that hurts me production-wise. How do I fix that? I really do best when focusing...

Josh and I podcasted tonight. We watched the sixth movie in the Trek franchise (sixth! So many movies!)...and it was good. Really good. I've always enjoyed it, and it was really, really cool to sit next to Josh and watch him experience it, too. I think he was...

Okay...so, somehow, a few weeks ago, I repeated an entire TEN NUMBER OF DAYS...it was from day 1,569 back to day 1,560, I think. And a missed and repeated day mixed in there, too, that offset each other. Sigh. I have failed you, dear reader. And, mostly, I have failed...

A Quiet Place. Go see it... I am pretty exhausted 😛 What else is new. Pups are chomping on their Whimzee sticks, the Ho is next to me editing photos...life is good. And... ...I just spent like fifteen minutes looking at photos on my phone with Liz 😛 It's pretty gd...
