Day 2,864: Another Email
I don’t have much for y’all these days.
Coming to bed dooogggg tired. Working my booty off with the Netflix work. Any time I have a project that requires clip pulls, it’s always a lot of work. They just take TIME.
Digging into a show to find clips is not a repeatable task with easy-to-define time limits. It really is “watch until you find some good stuff.” So, it varies. I spent a half day finding 20 great clips for one show, and I’m going to probably spend a day and a half or even two ful...

Day 2,863: Long Daze
Long looooonngggg day. Worked a good 15 hours today.
Blech. But, I got shit done!
Time for some sleeps. Night night.

Day 2,862: Back Baby!
My bae is back.
No, not Coco. She’s been here this whole time. Don’t call it a comeback.
Liz is home! It’s so, soooooo nice to have her home. Welcome home, bear 🥰
Had a productive day! The final battle for the book—which is what I’m writing right now—is shaping up quite nicely. Realized I needed to add a couple little bits here and there. Having fun with it. Genuinely. It’s super exciting. I’m very, very happy with everything I’ve set up finally paying off.
Netflix work has been busy...

Day 2,861: Zomg
I am…so tired.
Solid day today. Writing was great to start off the day. Work was great. Client work was great. Great day.
But, damn I am wiped out.
Need another strong day tomorrow. I am…so close to the end of this book.
Wish me luck!

Day 2,860: Shinjiku
Listening to some Max Richter as I write this entry this evening. Feeling wiped. Not a super restful weekend, by any means. But, I did get a lot done. Today, in particular, thank lawd.
Cooper just jumped onto the bed like he was in a big rush. Silly boy. His hair is the perfect length right now. He’s so soft and floofy. Coco too. She’s so luxurious with her fur this length. They probably could use a bath. Maybe we’ll do that when Liz gets home.
Missing her today. She’s still up in Visalia ...

Day 2,859: One Hundred
We’ve watched 100 movies for Film School. Taken us 3 whole years to do that, almost.
We haven’t finished the AFI list quite yet. We’re super close. Nine films left, which is INSANE to think about. Only nine films. We’ve come so far. It’s really exciting.
Long, looonngg day. But, I got done what I needed to. Need to do the same tomorrow. Even more tomorrow, in fact. Le sigh. Wish me luck. Need to sleep.
Night night.
Day 2,858: So Close
I’m getting SO CLOSE to finishing this book. It is finally, FINALLY time to write out the final battle.
Podcasting with J tonight. We watched The Wizard of Oz which is suuuuuch a classic. Not a perfect story, by any means, but a really incredible film. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is a face-melting song. It’s so good. Takes you right back.
Long week, y’all. Long day. Long week to come. And the one after that. Even have to do some Netflix work over the weekend. Boo. But, we do what we must....

Day 2,857: Butt Coco
Coco snuggles up so close to me at night. I love it. So much.
Today was National Dog Day! Happy NDD Coops and Coco! I’m so lucky to have both of you in my life. Coco for all the snuggles, and Coops for all the companionship and borks.
Looooong day today. Whew. Got my shit done, though. Took some extra fuuuuuggin hours to get there, but get there we did. And the writing this morning was solid. 6 pages. Not the full allotment. I wanted to get another writing session in to finish the job, or ...

Day 2,856: Handshake
I wrote 11 pages today. And like it was nothing, too.
The book is once again steaming ahead. No holds barred. Nothing currently in my way…and nothing WILL be in my way, methinks. I’m finally to the last act. I think I’ve justified everything that’s left to come, it’s just a matter of finally letting all the dominoes fall.
It’s a good feeling. All I have to do is write. I’m starting to get to know the characters. It makes them easier to write. Fun stuff to come.
Work is busy busy busy. I...

Day 2,855: The Grindstone Returns
K. So, I am definitely back to work.
I almost got piled with too much on my plate today. It was a close one. But, my coordinator over at Haus was able to sort it out like a freaking champ. I’m a fan, Jonah is his name. He’s excellent at his job, and gosh darn it, I appreciate excellence.
No writing because I woke up late, but that changes tonight. To bed on time. Up on time in the morning, and we’re back at this bitch. Gonna FINISH MY BOOK. I only need, like, five more days. Maybe six or s...
