Bed time! Writing was better today. Progress was made. Back at it again tomorrow. So, yeah. Sleep time.

A dog never forgets a meal. It was a grind today. I got work done. Not a ton, but some. Sigh. I have to keep pushing. Tis what it Tis. Gotta finish this book this week. And I can do it. Same with the outline. Just gotta keep pushing.

I often get a rush of creative ideas just before bed. I think my most natural creative time is actually at night…but it’s also probably, partly, because I’m tired, which helps the hold-on-tight part of the brain relax a little bit. Hemingway said “write drunk,” and I...

Happy Birthday to my Bear! It’s laaaaate so we going to bed, but it was a very successful get together in the daytime and a great dinner in the evening. Night night.

High tea at the Huntington. Roses and cacti there, too. Puzzling. Naps. Walking pups. Joy ate cat shit. Sprint Quali with Lin. Mormon doc (horrifying) in the evening. Now…sleeeeeeep.

Liz’s fam is in town for her birthday. We had a dope-ass al fresco dinner and the weather was freaking perfect. Joy pushed her loose tooth out. Work was slow. I mopped the floors. Got writing in; still a slog there but we’re so close. It was a good day. Looking...

Would you rather drink dirty toilet water or eat dirty kitty litter? These are the questions that my wife asks me as I’m settling down to write my journal entries for the day. Wtf! lol. My answer was a simple shake of my head. That’s a no to both, thank you very much....

Short one tonight bc it’s beeeedddd tiiiiimmmmeee. Writing today was fine. Very close, but still grinding. Happy with what I wrote, which is the win, but didn’t hit my page count. Haven’t for some time, which is frustrating. Work was slow, which was nice. Pups are...

I watched Ad Astra today. For the second time, actually. I remember watching it…during the pandemic, I think? Which would make sense because it came out in 2019. Guys…that is a bad movie. It thinks it’s so smart, but holy fuck is that movie stupid. It’s beautiful in...
