Day 1,604: Movie Night!
Liz and I went to see Ready Player One tonight, and while I'll save my full thoughts for my review...which I *really* should catch up on tomorrow...I'll say that it was a disappointment. A disappointment in the sense that it was exactly what I expected, actually: not...
2018 Movie #16: Ready Player One
This is one of the FEW movies where I'd read the book before going to see it...and I rarely recommend doing that if you want to wholly enjoy the film. In other words, the book is always better than the movie. This one is no exception. The Blurb: From filmmaker Steven...
Day 1,603: Over Half Way
I made good progress on my book this week. Like, really solid progress. I was able to use a set of scenes that I'd already written, and I wasn't anticipating that. The story is moving along. I still have work to do on these "dream" sequences...they're still not quite...
Day 1,602: Baseball is upon us
Baseball is upon us, ladies and gents. I got to sit down today and watch opening day with Joe. It was awesome. We had to watch the stupid Angels' feed, because they're the local team, and the A's broadcast is subject to blackout when that's the case...but still...it...
Day 1,601: Just a GOOD day
Today was just a GOOD day. Damn, what a fine day. I got done pretty much everything I wanted to, with the exception of finishing the TG1T episode I was working on...but I used the timer method to start the writing off right, and holy moly, it was successful. I wrote...
Day 1,600: Bit of this, bit of that
I had an up and down day today. It was "down" to start, and better to finish. My current area for improvement writing-wise is the beginnings of these weeks. Somehow, I need to do a better job of preparing myself and getting psyched up and excited and specific on...
Day 1,599: Quick One
Quick one tonight because I need to help the Ho go over some stuff, but I had a good day today! Did my TG1T, got all the through my newest outline to the end of the story (and praise be to the writing gods, I managed to get it all lined up time-line wise! And it...
Day 1,598: My Tribe
One of my goals for 2018 is to meet more fellow authors, writers who, you know, write BOOKS. Those who are just starting out like me, and those who are further ahead. I can say I've done a decent job of that so far. Like tonight: a guy I've known on Facebook for I...
Day 1,597: OFF
I had brunch/lunch with Nikolai today. I went to the brand-new Orchard Supply in Hollywood which reminded me of my childhood, spending so many afternoons in Pierson's Building Center in Eureka with my dad. I got a hose and an adapter for our faucet so I could spray...
2018 Movie #15: Time Travelers
Full disclosure: I watched this movie via Mystery Science Theater 3000, but it was the entire movie, so I think it counts! 🙂 I completely enjoyed myself! The Blurb: Research scientists experimenting with time warps are accidentally propelled forward into an...
