Day 917: A Ho is Born

Day 917: A Ho is Born

Today was my wifey's birthday and we spent all day together. It was a *grand* time. Woke up, and was getting ready to do a pretty full day of editing work...and realized that was a terrible idea. I should just rearrange everything so that I'm working Tuesday through...

Day 916: Two Days Behind

Day 916: Two Days Behind

So, I'm "two days" and six pages behind on my novel. Writing didn't happen today. It just didn't. I didn't make the time. I didn't have the time, to be honest. Too much puppy time, too much apartment time, and too much working time (on a weekend, I know!). But, you...

Day 915: Speeds You Along

Day 915: Speeds You Along

Hemmingway used to write and teach all the time about keeping it "simple." That short, concise sentences were the key to profundity. I just read an article that seems to verify that, and it makes me think about my own writing. This article I read had a great quote in...

Day 914: A first

Day 914: A first

So, here I am, on the morning of April 30th sitting down to write my pages for my novel...and I open my iPad (which is what I write both my blogs and most of my novel writing), and it's set on what I last wrote for my novel last night before I went to bed...and I...

Day 913: Quickie

Day 913: Quickie

Today has to be a quick one. It's already 1am and I got the works in the mornings. I podcasted. I worked. And I wrote. My book is 8 pages old. It's supposed to be 9 pages old, but today was a beast. I still got 2 pages done. Tomorrow...well, no, I doubt I'll make...

Day 912: The First Thing

Day 912: The First Thing

I wrote to 6 pages today. It was the first thing I did. That's a piece of advice that I can offer to any other aspiring writer out there who's writing in addition to working full-time...write in the morning. Make it the first thing you do. Your day will wear you out,...

Day 911: Three Pages

Day 911: Three Pages

I did it. "Untitled Gnome Project" is three pages and one day old. I knew I could do it...because I cheated a bit. I'd already written a page and a half months ago...but I still sat down and squeezed out another page and a half to make it a full three. Feels good,...

Day 910: Ninety Days…

Day 910: Ninety Days…

I'm 90 days away from 1,000 days you guys...that feels monumental. Tonight especially for some reason. I'm listening to very, very young versions of Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill right now because I was re-editing a section of a friend's film tonight, and this song just...

Day 909: Working Through The Weekend

Day 909: Working Through The Weekend

This weekend is all in the title tonight, my friends. I worked non-stop this weekend...and I plan to work non-stop through the week. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. But, it must be done. There's no way around it. I still, actually have to run to the store and get some milk and...

Day 908: Birthdays on Birthdays

Day 908: Birthdays on Birthdays

Today was a day full of birthdays. So many. Okay, so it was TWO birthdays (plus one up stairs for a tenant)...but STILL. That's a lot, yo! It was birthdays today and it was doing narrations. And Flix work. I haven't been able to do narrations since about two weeks...
