I worked twelve hours today! But that’s okay. I got my shit done. Writing, too. Night night.

It was an unexpectedly busy day at work today. Whew. I was busy from 9am to almost 7pm. No nap today! But…that’s okay. It’s good to be busy. I need to earn that paycheck, you know? Of course you do, you hard-working mo fo. Writing was hard again this morning, BUT…it...

I’m close. Very close to having this outline sorted, and the major points of this story dialed in. But, I’m not there yet, and it’s sooooo haaaarrrdddd. Sigh. Really hard to focus. To just sit there and think until I come up with answers that feel right. There’s no...

Another lazy day. Exactly what I needed, hopefully, because I have a goal for this coming week: a perfect week. All fifteen hours of writing, done. Gotta get it. Will get it. Just need to be diligent. Joy is currently paaassseedd out. She had a super long play session...

Got to watch the Australian Grand Prix live! Lin—Liz’s dad, who’s a huge racing fan—texted right as the race was starting and asked if we were watching. Well, we just so happened to be on the couch, and we tuned in and caught up from the little bit we’d missed to that...

Wasn’t expecting it to be a long work day today, but it was! In a good way, I suppose. Started with the first great outlining session I’ve had in a couple weeks. Had several very, very good ideas, one after the other. And then work was busy, but at just the right...

I saw two new kittens this morning. Brothers, I think. About six months? One of them was suuuuper friendly and would have come right up to me if Snacks hadn’t been right there and immediately went to regulate on this poor baby. This is his backyard, after all. It...

Twas a three-hour day today. My goal. Whew. All I really did was point out the big holes still in my outline…but at least I know where they are. That is still helpful. Helped Liz with an audition. 8 pages! But we got it done in an hour. She’s in a groove at the...

A zero day today writing-wise. Sigh. Lots of moving parts right now to waking life. No excuse, though…except for fatigue. And that what I’m working on right now is hard. That’s the plain and simple truth of it. Outlining. It’s hard. For me. Maybe it’s easy for other...

Day one of the new OmniFocus reality. I did good with it. Real test, however, will be if I stick with it when the whole thing goes sideways, which is bound to happen sooner or later—the stretches where the schedule has to go out the window for a week or two because...
