Day 1,571: Smarter Artists
Day One of the Smarter Artists Summit. I met *a lot* of people today, and it was glorious. I'm gonna have so many writer friend peeps after this convention, it's gonna be dope 😛 Having a tribe of fellow writers is actually one of my BIG goals this year. When I was...
Day 1,571: Austin, yo
I'm in Austin for the first time in...25 years? Something like that. I think it was 1993 the last time I was here, so yeah, that's 25 freaking years. Good lord. Time flies. Except that it doesn't, because in this case, 25 years feels like a lifetime ago 😛 I'm here...
Day 1,570: A perfect day off
Writing this one a bit early tonight! 😛 It's an early morning to the airport, that's why. I'm off to Austin for the Smarter Artists Summit, a two-day conference for indie authors. I'm excited to go! It was around this time last year that I first heard about it, and...
Day 1,569: Act 1, and Curling Gold
It's super late right now because we stayed up to watch curling...and the MEN WON THE GOLD. Huge upset. Our previous best showing in the sport was a Bronze medal, like, a million years ago. So, that was awesome! I also wrote 10,000 new words this week, which is...
2018 Movie #9: Geostorm
Natural disaster movie with cities all over the world being destroyed? Gerard Butler? Space action? I'm in! At the very least, Geostorm knew *exactly* what kind of movie it wanted to be. THE BLURB: After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the...
Day 1,568: Zero Day
No writing today. Sigh. It was just ONE OF THOSE DAYS. But...we really tomorrow. I've made so progress this week, we're going to end with a bang. For reals. Otherwise it was a great day. I read that Brendan Fraser article in GQ and was quite moved by it. It made me...
Day 1,567: 1,500 good words
I wrote 1,500 good words today. It *was* less than I wanted, but I'm still at 6,000 words for the past three days which is exactly what my "goal" was...kinda. Three chapters was my goal, and I'm at 2 and a half...but still a win, and I'll take it. Josh and I podcasted...
Day 1,566: It’s So Cold
Omg, you guys...it's so freaking cold in LA right now. It might actually freeze. I realize to most of you other folksy folks out there that FREEZING is a usually occurrence in vast swaths of the rest of the world out there, but for LA, it is super, super uncommon for...
2018 Movie #8: What We Do In The Shadows
So, what name was on eeevverrryyybooodddyyy's lips this fall after Thor: Ragnarok came out? Taika Waititi. The New Zealander who wrote and directed it... Well, the first thing I did after watching that movie was look him up, and the FIRST thing that came up once I did...
Day 1,565: Just a day at work
Today was a big win in that it felt like just another day at work, and shiiiit, guys, that's basically been my goal in a nutshell for the past month and a half: just find normal again. I wrote 4,000 *good* words like it was nothing. Almost like it was nothing 😛 It...
