Day 1,562: A rough week…but… 🙂
Yeah, so, on the writing front, this was a rough week. No ifs-ands-or-buts about it...but... I had a good day today. A great day, in fact. I halted the anxiety spiral, I took a deep breath, and I really thought a lot about what causes my process to break down, how I...
2018 Movie #6: Dunkirk
It's been 8 years since Christopher Nolan made a solidly good film...at least in my humble estimation, being a judgey-mc-judgerson here on the sidelines 😛 Dunkirk, at the very least puts Nolan back into that category. It's not spectacular by any stretch of...
Day 1,561: Blarg
Truth time: it's been a rough week, y'all. I've done my writing a total of two days this week, and even then, it was weak sauce. Sigh... My instinct is to treat tomorrow as a binge writing day, but as I sit here tonight, I realize that's a bad idea. Not only will that...
Day 1,560: Altered Carbon
First of all...Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life. You might think I'm going to say Cooper next, or Coco, or maybe even Ice Cream (mmmm...ice cream...), but no. It's Elizabeth Ho. My wife. The most amazing person I've ever known. This is our...13th...
Day 1,569:
Not really sure what to write about today... Did lots of thinking. Not super productive today...but I did lots of thinking. I wasn't feeling particularly hot. I slogged through some admin-type writing stuff in the morning which took waaaay longer than I'd hoped. I...
Day 1,568: Slow Day
I love it when it rains in LA. It just rained a bit ago. Not for long, but enough to wet the ground. It's such a rare occurrence, and I grew up somewhere with so much of it...makes me think of home. It's a comfortable thing when it rains. It's fresh. It's clean. It...
Day 1,567: Epic Weekend
Guys...I survived food poisoning last night. Holy jazzies. I woke up around 2am...I think...and I just wasn't feeling well. Felt like I had to pee, I was too warm, and that Father's Office burger was sitting in my tum-tum like a lead weight. That's honestly what it...
Day 1,566: Grooving Still
Happy Birthday, tonight, to two friends: Marie and Liz Alderfer. We got to hang out with both of them this evening. Marie first; she was having a shindig at Marmelade Cafe at the Farmer's Market, my old stomping grounds. It was QUITE the turnout. Very nice to meet so...
Day 1,565: Yaaaaasssss
Today...was a kick ass day. I had a goal in mind, and by god, I hit it. It took me till like 10 at night (with some times off in between, of course), but I hit it. Pages were sent off to my Beta Readers...I'm pretty happy with them...and I got my narrations done. Only...
2018 Movie #5: 13th
Can't tell you *precisely* what made me want to watch this movie earlier this week, but it's definitely been on my radar since it came out last year and was among the Academy Award nominees. It did not disappoint. THE BLURB Filmmaker Ava DuVernay explores the history...
