Day 2,129: Long Dayaaaze
It’s late. Hour past bed time, which has been the theme of this week. But for good reason!
Josh and I got in two podcasts this week, which made up for missing one a couple weeks ago. We’re back to three weeks ahead of our release schedule, which I think we’re going to NEED, tbh. Next month is so crazy for me.
I have some audio editing to do, which I hope to have some time for tomorrow. We’ll see how my work day goes.
I was scatter-brained a bit today. I left my fob in my car this morning, whi...

Day 2,128: Ask for help
I did a core questions breakdown today of all the scenes that I wrote and added over the course of the last week since I met with J.
I had anxiety going into it. I was afraid that I would hate my writing, or that it was all going to be unclear and foggy and just feel distant, which is what I’ve felt whilst reading and editing my work for so long now.
It didn’t.

Day 2,127: Breaking Through
It’s so late that I can’t really talk about this as much as I really want to, but I have had a breakthrough in my writing. A huge one.
I’m enjoying it again. It’s easy again.
And this time for real.
I was able to crank out a lot of words over the past couple years. I would sit down and write and shove the words onto the page and hit my word Count goals…
and I hated everything I wrote. I felt so detached from what I was writing, and I convinced myself that I had a process, and the my process w...

Day 2,126: Me Droogies
Josh and I watched A Clockwork Orange tonight for the podcast. Still a couple weeks ahead of schedule, which is just lovely.
The movie itself, not so lovely. It’s violent, particularly towards women, and it’s particularly dark and nihilistic. Not a decent character to be found in the entire movie, save for perhaps the chaplain in the prison…but even he is a blind fool.
It’s not a movie for me. I don’t have that fuck-it-all bone to be tickled inside me. It pushes me away, makes me disengage ra...

Day 2,125: Pool Party
Went to a pool party today at Ashley’s house, and it was perfect day for it. Ie – hot as balls.
They’re moving into a new, giant house, and they didn’t have a pool at their previous house. So: party! It was a lot of fun, and the pool was dooooope. So warm. And salt water instead of chlorinated. Put on plenty of sunblock, and stayed in the shade too. No sunburn!
Both Liz and I remarked when we were lathering up the sunblock that it smelled like Hawaii.
We’d love to have a pool. I mean, honestl...
Day 2,124: Pool Party
Went to a pool party today at Ashley’s house, and it was perfect day for it. Ie – hot as balls.
They’re moving into a new, giant house in Los Feliz, and they didn’t have a pool at their previous house. So: party! It was a lot of fun, and the pool was dooooope. So warm. And salt water instead of chlorinated. Put on plenty of sunblock, and stayed in the shade too. No sunburn!

Day 2,124: Saturyay!
I love my Saturdays.
They’re *my* day. I get to chill usually.
I always try to get work done on the podcast on Saturdays, but I’m never in the mood. Maybe I should just change their due dates on my OmniFocus app to Sundays, because that’s always the day that I take care of that work. Never on Saturday. Maybe I should just listen to my own rhythms and preferences and plan to have Saturdays be my un-plug days.
Just had a great little writing session. I wrote the dialogue/arguments for a scene b...
