Almost forgot to write this one. Already have my head on my pillow and lights out. But my phone is here to save me. Got my pages done—Glory 4 is at 60 of them. Almost through act one. Saw Longlegs with Liz and Jared. It was fine. Not great, but still a ton of fun....

It late. Podcasted for the first time in a couple weeks because of all that traaaavel. It was so nice to get back in that groove, get back to the Hitchcock. We’re almost to the 50s! Wild. Movie wasn’t that great, but that’s okay. We still had fun. And still great to...

We finished Patriot Games tonight, and man…that movie is way better than I remember it being when I watched it as a teenager. It slaps. Ford is great in it, the finale is great, all the twists and turns are great. It’s super duper solid. Four stars, I say! Four stars...

The manuscript sits at thirty pages tonight. Okay, technically it sits at 29…but close enough. Close enough to make up tomorrow no sweat. Proud of myself. I’ve just kinda slipped right into it. The flow is good already. Stuff is happening. Meeting new characters....

Twenty pages complete on the latest manuscript! Boom Shaka Laka. Feeling a bit zonked about it to be honest…but I know now that’s normal for me. I get zonked when I first get into the swing of things. It’s a disruption of the status quo, which always makes me feel...

Ten pages. It has begun! I truly am the happiest when I’m drafting. The story is there, ready for me to just live it, and living it is the best part. Got through ten pages today pretty easily. Ten again tomorrow is the goal, and ten more after that, and so on till...

Home. We started watching The Fugitive tonight, which neither of us has ever seen. We know about it. obviously, but neither of us has actually seeeeen it. It’s so good! Instantly good. And it’s funny, because the opening act is very old school — the escape from the...

Got to spend the day with Ashika and Aavya (and Joe and Madhuri) today. It was GRAND. Exhausting, as kids are—Ashi is 4–but grand. We had a great time reading and coloring and playing games and eating food and generally just being silly and enjoying each other’s...

Man, that Neil Gaiman podcast is rough, y’all, and I mean that in that Neil Gaiman is at best incredibly problematic and at worst is a goddamn monster and predator. Gut-wise, I can tell you I’m leaning towards the latter, but we’re only one episode in, so I’ll see how...

Fireworks are going off outside. Big time. It was quiet the first couple years here, I remember now…but then we had a big time fireworks family move in a few houses down, and now its wild out there. We don’t mind. I get it; fireworks are fun. People look forward to...
