Hit an actual wall today with the writing streak. Only four pages today, and then I realized I needed to call it quits and chill. It was the right choice 🙂 I’ll be back at it tomorrow (or Sunday, we’ll see). The last 150 pages are ahead. It’s gotta be vibrant and...

Another day, another ten pages biiiitches. Yeah! It’s easy for me to forget that I’m writing a book faster than I ever have before. It’s disorienting. As it always is whenever I’m doing something I haven’t done before. That disorientation is exhausting. I’m fighting...

Definitely struggling with the resistance at the moment, but what’s crazy is that I’m used to ten pages a day enough now that…I just do it. Even though the resistance part of me is freaking out and trying to put a halt on everything—for no other reason than just, I’m...

My car has two new tires. The old ones turned out to be EIGHT YEARS OLD, which is wild…but I’ve only put like thirty or forty thousand miles on them in that time (hey hey, the benefits of working from home!) so the single flat didn’t mean it was necessary to change...

Ambiguity is when something has multiple meanings at the same time. It’s not either/or, its and/with. Ambiguity is present in almost all great art. It’s deeply satisfying, and an acknowledgement of the real world we live in where so rarely we get a definitive yes or...

I think I’ve learned something: I need a day off each week. I planned to write all the way through the weekend today, and get another ten pages down—seemingly easier than it was going to be yesterday, given I didn’t have anything planned outside of the house today—but...

Oh boy, it’s late. I (almost) hit 200 pages on the manuscript today. Woohoo! Should be good for at least halfway done. We’ll see. Some fun POVs in this book. It’s a few characters I haven’t spent much time inside their heads to this point, and/or their brand new. So,...

Ten more pages. Boom! Happy about it. Action sequence today, which meant the words flowed pretty easily. I ended the chapter with a moment I’m not happy with. It’s not quite right. I’ll tweak it later. Work was slower today, finally. Still decently busy, but not AS...

It’s already late, so this will be a short one but… 10 pages: done Netflix work: done Nap: yes! a baby one, but I did it. Therapy: done. Podcast entry: posted. Joy assaulting me for kisses: she just tried to. After blog entry, babes. Night...

Man. Another long work day! But a good one. I still got my ten pages done, and I’m wrapping up two different projects at the same time. Early, actually, which is always nice. Whew. Watched some Slalom Canoe (which looked a lot to me like kayaking, but what do I know)....
