Introduced a good friend tonight to the show Alone. He loved it. I’m so happy. I hope he watches it. Another lovely day up here in Ashland. Penny, you guys—my friend’s almost-five-year-old daughter—is so freaking sweet. I have had such a good time hanging out with...

Played mini-golf in the afternoon sun today…mistake. We were all WIPED from that, lol. It was fun, though. We’ve been having an amazing time visiting up here with Ryan, Lisa and Penny. SUCH a good time. There’s such an age difference between 3 and (almost) 5, man....

We’re up visiting Ryan, Lisa and Penny. It’s so lovely. Beautiful weather. They have chickens, and they’re adorable. Penny is adorable. Ashland is adorable! It late tho. I’m EXHAUSTED. Flying, man. It’s so tiring. Night night.

Nothing better than a shower before bed. It’s funny, I used to be a shower-in-the-morning person. Helped me wake up, etc. But Liz convinced me of the shower-before-bed methodology as being superior. Then you sleep CLEAN in your bed. And that’s magic. Writing today was...

Less crushing today, but still crushing! I’ve…gotten…SO MUCH work done in the past two days. It’s a glimpse into what I can do. I just need to make is sustainable. That’s the trick. That’s the rub. I can work so much faster; the block is mental. I’m trying y’all. I...

Crushed. It. Today. I wrote for six hours today and got a shit ton of this outline done. Almost to Act 3. I can be more economical with my words; I don’t need to write the entire freaking scene. Just outline it. It’s enough. I’m going to have to dive in and reinvent...

Bad writing day. I did almost nothing. But here’s the thing: I got this. I do. I really do. Tomorrow is going to be the best day I’ve had in a long while. Let’s do this. Night night.

Need to finish my outline and start writing the book. Have to. It’s as simple as that. It’s all out tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it. Good sunday. We got to hang out with Stephen and Thida in the morning. Had breakfast/brunch together. They made homemade egg...

Joy is turning into such a little snuggle bug and I LOVE IT. Put her on my lap today on the couch, and she just snuggled in right there, half on the cushions, half on my lap. Just like Coco. Coops doesn’t do that. But Joy does. Meltin my heart over here. Picked up...

It’s late! Past bed time, in fact. As it usually is on a Friday night after podcasting. Really fun one tonight. Not so much the film itself, but watching it together, discussing the storytelling, what worked and what didn’t. It’s fascinating to watch a director find...
