Day 1,682: The Lost Day
So, this blog post never went up last night. I didn't write it. It's actually not the FIRST time it's happened where I legitimately forgot to write the post...it's the second, I think. But, this whole exercise of counting days really moved on from the "consecutive" or...
Day 1,681: Tie Tie
Yo! I am tiiirreeeeeddd tonight. Going to bed EARLY 😛 But, I want to have a kickass day tomorrow writing-wise. Writing today was a bit of challenge, but not so much in the anxiety department--although that certainly had at least something to do with it--but, no...it...
2018 Movie #33: Justice League
Right off the bat, I have to confess that I was not expecting this movie to be any good. Liz and I didn't see it in theaters, we had no interest in seeing it in theaters, and my viewing of it on Blu-ray was purely out of curiosity to see if it was as bad as I thought...
Day 1,680: Don’t Give Up. Ever.
I'm listening to music tonight that I put into a playlist at the beginning of the year, a really rough part of the year for me. I had failed. I'd set many goals, many deadlines for my writing, and I was missing them all. It was a horrible, vicious cycle of failure and...
Day 1,679: Circles
Sometimes, my brain runs in circles when it's trying to figure out something story related. There are so many moving parts to a story, it can be so hard to fit them all together, which is why "simple" is king. The rub is that "simple" can be hard to come by sometimes....
2018 Movie #32: Cargo
Cargo is an indie out of Australia, that's actually based on this short film from 2011, and the short is absolutely fantastic. It's a perfect example of the storytelling one can accomplish in quite literally seconds, as long as there is specificity and simplicity. I...
Day 1,678: Writerly
The writing was good today! Twas a much more relaxing day for me today, for whatever reason. Not as up tight, or anxious. I just kind of enjoyed my day. I wrote. I did building work. I watched some baseball, and the movie Cargo...which I'll do a write up on tomorrow,...
Day 1,677: Dayoff
Ahhhh. I had the day "off" today, ie- I only wrote 1,000 words, and did work around the apartment building 😛 Off days for me tend to be a bit anxiety-inducing. It's not the best, I know, I'm working on it 😛 Today was no exception, that is, until after walking the...
2018 Movie #31: Speed Racer
I remember this movie being blasted when it first came out. I never saw it. And then I read these articles over the past couple weeks about how this movie has turned into a cult classic in the ten years after its release...and it's streaming on Netflix. I had to check...
Day 1,676: Burnt
Burnt myself to a crisp today. Not in a sunburn or oven kind of way. In the "my mind is fried because I wrote so much" way. I wrote 3,000 words. More than that, actually, almost 3,500 I think. It waaas shy of 4,000 words, which was my goal, but damn. I've written more...
