Day 2,446: Coco, Are You High?
Making this one a quick entry tonight just because I am tiiiirreeedd.
Had a long, super interesting conversation with Bear today about story. That was fun. Talked about it all during our nighttime walk with the pups.
Talked to my mom today during the morning walk. She’s good. Spent some time in the afternoon getting some of my star trek stuff ready to sell that I want to sell. Had a nice, long nap.
It was a great Saturday. A recharge day.
Night!

Day 2,445: I Need Proof
It was an odd day today, but honestly…I was just tired.
Long week of feeling like I was just a little bit behind the 8-Ball. I kept my head above water, though, and we’ll see if I can make up a little ground here over the weekend. I think I can.
Just finished playing a dooooppeee set with Liz. I think we’re going to make it a regular thing on Friday nights. Not sure what time yet, but that would be fun, right? We played for two hours. It was lit.
Didn’t have either of my main writing se...

Day 2,444: Night
It’s late and I’m on my phone instead of my iPad (left it in my office uuuuggghhh)…but today was another solid, solid day.
Writing was great. Finished one scene and got deep into the next.
Work was great. Made up a lot of ground.
Music was great, too. Techno day today.
Evening with bear was great.
Night!

Day 2,443: It Will Come
To anyone trying and struggling to write a book, or really doing anything creative, here is tried and true advice: just stick with it. Keep going. It will come.
I was really nervous about writing this opening scene again. I liked what I had originally, but it wasn’t quite setting up what came later, so I knew I needed to change it. I had ideas how, but it wasn’t super duper clear. I also knew I didn’t need to get it perfect, but at the same time, I knew I needed to get it close. Close enough ...

Day 2,442: A quick
It’s sleep time! Gotta make this quick…
Writing was rough in the morning for the first half, and then like a cold engine warming up, I started to roll. Writing in the afternoon was excellent. Tonight, too.
Work was super productive. Hell yes.
Music today was awesome. Found some great new tracks. Loving the little schedule I’m putting together for it, too. Weeknights from 6pm to 7pm Pacific. House Mondays, Trance Tuesdays, Deep Wednesdays, Techno Thursdays, and Back-to-Back Fridays with ...

Day 2,441: I’m a Bitch, I’m a Boss
Had a more normal day today.
Didn’t crush it. But, it was solid.
Writing has been hard this past week. Part of it has been work being so busy, it’s taken up my usual writing times. But, part of it is just intimidation. Avoidance. And here’s the thing: I’m realizing that’s okay. It still hurts me, it still makes me feel inadequate…but not as acutely as it used to, and not for nearly as long.
I’m going to get back in the groove. I know this, now. I just need to keep at it.
The good new...
“The Magicks of Megas-Tu” (Star Trek: The Animated Series S1 Ep8)
…and then Kirk had a drink with the Devil. Literally, the Devil. Easily one of the wackiest episodes of Star Trek, this episode features Spock drawing pentagrams on the floor doing magic, too many mid-sized sedans to count, and we learn that Megans hold majorly long grudges.

Day 2,440: Sweetheart
Guys, my dogs are the gd cutest.
Coops just laid down on top of Liz, like full snuggle status.
We washed the bedding and…damnit, the coverlet is still a little damp. Blech. I dried it for almost two hours! It’ll dry by morning though. It’s almost dry.
Coco just had to give me some kisses.
It was a good, grounding Sunday. Didn’t do much. Feeling more ready for the week.
Watched little Star Trek IV before bed while the bedding was drying. GDit I love that movie. Might be my favorite...

Day 2,439: Sorting
Sorted through a lot of old stuff today. I’m getting rid of a lot of it, and I’m hanging onto a decent bit, too.
I’ve always enjoyed the process of sorting through a messy pile of stuff, getting rid of most of it, and keeping the stuff that really means something to me. I think that’s the OCD in me? Maybe? But it feels good to pare junk down to just the gems, and then holding onto those.
I’m getting rid of a lot of Star Trek stuff.
I remember buying it all over the years. It was excitin...

Day 2,438: Golf!
It’s super duper late, so I’m going to make this Friday night entry a quick one:
Got a little work done in the morning. That felt good.
Went and played golf with Josh. That felt amazing.
Came home and took a quick little nap, took care of the pups and ate dinner, and then played a dope ass set on Twitch AND got my Mixcloud account set up to put my mixes over there so they last forever and don’t get portions deleted for copyright.
Twas a grand day.
Night night.
