Day 2,070: Maaaaaannn
Maaaaannn…
This writing thing before bed is the SHIT.
I just wrote a solid scene. Right before bed time. Just like that. After a long, looooong day. A solid scene came out of these fingertips. And I feel so much accomplishment from that.
Coops is using the little leopard bed I have next to my side of the bed, and for some reason, that just makes me so happy. We’ve had it for several years now, and just today has he started to use it.
Liz took the pups to set today because it was one of her ca...

Day 2,070: The Lucky Few
Josh and I got to podcast tonight. If we record again on Friday, we might actually get a week ahead of our schedule.
That would be…amazing. So amazing. I’d love to try and do it one more time, which would get us two episodes ahead…and then skip a week with a new movie and do a Cutting Room Floor. That would get us three weeks ahead. A nice cushion. A cushion I know we’re going to need.
We watched Modern Times tonight and…well, I’ll save it for the podcast, I think.
Work has gotten crazy. Craz...

Day 2,069: Goodbye
Goodbye to a couple things tonight.
First: goodbye to Andre Iguodala.
The Warriors began their dynasty by trading for him in 2013. He was a key piece…perhaps THE key piece…in catapulting them from an intriguing young playoff team to becoming champions.
We traded him today.
It truly is the end of an era. Oh, and by KD, too…you’re an incredible player who helped us win back to back championships, and what should have been a third. I’ll miss you too and your amazing shooting. But, honestly, we w...

Day 2,068: What To Say?
I feel like I’m going through a period with my blog where I don’t have a lot to say.
It’s not exactly fatigue, I don’t think. I’m not fatigued with the blog per se…
I don’t know what it is. I just know I’ve been so tired lately when I’m sitting here in bed ready to write about my day and my thoughts and my emotions…I haven’t really wanted to spend that much more time writing them all out.
Maybe it’s partly that I’m going to therapy each week, and talking about those things instead?
I don’t kn...

Day 2,067: Takes It Out of You
Podcasting sure takes it out of you.
I am *exhausted* right now. Whew!
Josh and I podcasted, and it was a good one tonight. We watched The Wild Bunch, which was a western that neither of us had ever seen before. To be honest…the western genre of films is a entire era that I hardly know anything about. I wasn’t raised on westerns. I haven’t picked them up on my own in my older years.
This was a good one. I won’t say more than that and ruin anything

Day 2,066: Help
Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Don’t be too proud.
Honestly, and this one is mostly for me: don’t be so stupid.
I wish I’d asked for help with my book sooner. A lot sooner…which is to say–because I’m not going to hold onto that disappointment or misery any longer than I must–I’m so happy that I asked for help, and now I’m receiving it.
Just the process of articulating to another writer what it is that I want to accomplish, say, and put my characters through has been a revelation. A REVELATI...
