Day 1,450: Compartmentalizing

Day 1,450: Compartmentalizing

I need to improve at compartmentalizing. Dominoes fall during my day, and I’m not always that good at keeping them from setting off a cascade of derailment. That is a skill. I *can* be better at it. It’s just going to take some work. My parent’s dog, Jojo, is very...

Day 1,449: Big Fail

Day 1,449: Big Fail

Sigh. Today was a big fail on the writing front. I’m just too anxious, guys, and that’s okay. I know exactly what the source of that “anxiety” is...it’s actually excitement, if you decide to put a positive spin on it, and it’s because exciting things are happening!...

Day 1,448: SunDAYYYY

Day 1,448: SunDAYYYY

I had a really, really good day off. YEEEESSSSS. I have this new system that I’m trying to learn and get down, guys, that should lead to anxiety-free (or at least WORK anxiety-free) down time...it’s called “Getting Things Done” (yes, I know, suuuper on-the-nose name...

Day 1,447: Hmmm

Day 1,447: Hmmm

The Ho and I went and saw Joe in a play tonight. I do not get to see that man often enough. Miss him. Good lord. He was great. Several of his castmates were freaking fantastic. We had a great time. And, we got to hang with him and everyone else afterwards at the bar...

Day 1,446: Words!

Day 1,446: Words!

I wrote word today. 550 of them. And they were goooood, if not a ton of them. New ideas today. Which is what happens when I learn to stop worrying and love the bomb (that’s a movie reference - points if you know which one). Otherwise did a crap-ton of release and a...

Day 1,445: No words again

Day 1,445: No words again

No words again today. I don't know why I've started my last two blogs like this; this reminder of failure starting off an entry on what was otherwise an insanely productive day. I made the choice today (and yesterday) to clear my plate of other duties first. Maybe...

Day 1,444: No Words

Day 1,444: No Words

I wrote no words today except those in my head. A nice little scene between Suzy and Barry came to mind... Instead, I did Netflix work and I did an editing pass on what will be the final manuscript for Starstuff. Even after four passes with editors, there were still...

Day 1,443: Blade Runner 2049

Day 1,443: Blade Runner 2049

Guys. GUYS. The new Blade Runner is so freaking good. Holy crap. I am on record as saying that as a movie...meaning the whole package, including story, characters and dialogue...the original Blade Runner is totally overrated. It’s a decent movie at best,...

Day 1,442: Overload

Day 1,442: Overload

I hit some overload today. It happens. Too much to compute. On those days, usually, I kind of fold up and don’t really get anything done, but not today. I got a decent amount of work done. It’s because of the book launch. It’s a week away, and that’s scary, but I’m...
