Day 1,793: Odd Day

Today was an odd day. I didn’t feel like I earned my “off” day in the middle of the week because I wrote so few words yesterday, but I also had a mine to treat it as such anyway, given that I’m trying to establish a pattern. It ended up kind of in between.

I did some *dope* outlining tonight. So good. Getting to the point where I can’t wait to write these scenes, and maaann…that’s what I’ve been missing. What a change. What a turnaround.

Truly truly, it has to do with making sure that I spend...

Day 1,792: Outlining and Flo

I wrote today, outlining for the rest of the draft I’m on. I also went to see Florence and the Machine with Bear. She was amaaazing. As always.

It’s now 1am. Time to sleep

Day 1,791: Back in the Postseason

The A’s are back in the postseason.

I know that probably doesn’t mean squat to about 99% of you…but it means a lot to me. I’ve been an A’s fan since I was ten years old. They haven’t won a World Series since I’ve been a fan, but they have won one since I’ve been alive, in 1989, and that championship was a huge reason I became a baseball fan. I grew up listening to that championship core on the radio.

This young team we have could bring a ring to Oakland. I truly believe it. They’re a team wit...

Day 1,790: Lost Spirits Redux

Today was day 9 of 90. 1/10th of the way there!

I wrote a couple hundreds words today, finished out this chapter I’m working on. Tomorrow is a “full” day of writing. Hoping to hit 4,000 words. I actually am closing in on the final several chapters of the book. Finally. FINALLY! What a huge step it will be to finish.

I downloaded a military sci-fi book on audible for research. It’s immensely popular, and I want to see why. With 2x audio speed, which I find is usually about how fast I need it t...

Day 1,789: Quickie

Doing a quick entry tonight: today was a lot of fun.

Slept in a bit, then walked Coops and had breakfast, and then it was time to head downtown. Liz was doing a podcast recording for this show called Dead Pilots Society where they doing a reading for pilots that were sold but never made it to air. The cast she read with was pretty impressive, and she was amaze, of course

Day 1,788: Solid

I had a solid work day today. Three thousand words. Plus, I got all my other tasks done today, too. It was a good day. A wonderful way to end the week, and a bit of a relief, too, because I was tired today. I was teetering on the edge of failure all day, and I pushed through.

Huge day today, now that I think about it. Huge.

I feel like I’m back. Words are flowing. Ideas are coming. The confidence is returning, along with more positive thinking. It’s an upswing. Just need to keep the momentum...
