Day 1,974: Adagio For Strangz
Guys, when my wife and I first started dating, I was super suuuuper into EDM.
I was into “Progressive” as it was called back then. House and Trance. Liz, being the fucking badass she is, was also into edm. This is the first song that she sent me:
Omg. Love forever in an instant

Day 1,973: Physical
Sigh. This one has to be another quick one. It’s time for my head to hit the pillow. I’m 15 minutes late.
But, it was a solid day. Weird, but solid. I had my physical today, which was quite a while in the making. I think it’s been…five years? Too long. Way too long.
But, that scuttled my morning writing. I did actually sit down and do my afternoon writing, however. Praise be.
Time for the sleeps. G’night.

Day 1,972: Whadda Weekend
What a weekend, y’all.
Felt like it was non-stop…because it was. But it was a great weekend. It wiped me out, which isn’t exactly ideal for going into the work week

Day 1,971: Castin
Have to make this one short tonight because of podcasting…
It was a marathon session today. Sophie’s Choice. Heavy stuff. But I’ll save any commentary for the actual podcast

Day 1,970: Friyay
Work went really well today. The project I’m working on is going even better than the ups-and-ups had hoped, which is awesome. It’s always nice to be a part of something that’s working, ya know?

Day 1,969: Pushing Through
Y’all…I *so* did not want to write today. The resistance was shouting louuuuuud.
But I pushed through.
I wrote two full sessions today, and got some excellent work done. I got through the entire story for the first time ever–in a very general sense, but that’s the phase of the outlining process I’m in–and then I went through it another time.
Already, some major themes are jumping out at me.
I guess I never realized how early on some of that big stuff becomes a part of my story; what is this s...

Day 1,968: A quick one
Has to be a quick one tonight. I need to get a good night’s sleep so I can wake up on time tomorrow and get to work on time, and get in the solid hour of writing in I want to.
I’ve been slipping…
I’ve been writing every day, but I haven’t been taking this new project by the horns these last two weeks. Sigh. I want to change that tomorrow. I can do this shit. I just need to buckle down and get in there. Stop listening to my own head demons.
They’re always with me, those guys. I have to be vigi...

Day 1,967: Spring Clean
It’s official. The Ho-Heinichen household is doing a spring cleaning.
We usually do one each year. Some are bigger than others. This one should be a decently big one. I think we’re actually going to hire someone to help, too. Get the professional sparkle, you know.
It started in earnest about a week ago when Liz got some new curtains and pillow covers. Today, the new rug and coffee table came and hooooly shit. Our living room looks dope.
We’re giving away our old Wii. We’re giving away the su...

Day 1,966: Vigilance
I just figured out a major motivation for a character in the new book I’m plotting. That felt nice.
I won’t share it here because, well…I think it might stick with the story, and if you want to know the STORY, you’ll just have to read it when I finish, ya know? Course you do. It’s not you reading the problem, it’s me finishing

Day 1,965: Sweet Air
The orange trees are blooming in LA. The air is sweet, and today was the first truly warm day we’ve had so far this year.
There was a light breeze during nighttime walks with the pups, and I was feeling a bit burned out from everything…podcasts, music, audiobooks, writing, TV, sports…everything. So, I walked with nothing but the sweet breeze.
It was magical.
I also took a nap as soon as I got home. I was tired today. So was Liz. Both of us drained from stressing over Coco, I think, and me als...
