Day 3,872: A Quick

It’s time for bed. We stayed up a little late watching the second season of The Jinx, finally. But I rocked four hours of writing. And did my Netflix work.

Now…sleep. Do it again tomorrow.

Day 3,871: Four Hours

Did it. Cranked in four hours today. Mentally wiped, but I did it. They weren’t the BEST four hours of work I’ve ever done, but I did them, and I got good progress out of them. Whew.

It is SO TAXING to outline. I have to answer aaalllll the questions. The big ones, anyway. Get the story into a shape where I’m excited to write it. It’s the only way that works for me. That anxiety over something not being quite fleshed out enough, or not working, or questions unanswered are killers for me when ...

Day 3,870: Quick!

Making it a quick one tonight because I need to SLEEP. It was a fine day. But not great. And it’s because I didn’t get up on time, which is because I didn’t have a great night’s sleep. Gonna fix that tonight.

Night night 🙂

Day 3,869: We Roll

I did a couple things today that I’ve—inexplicably beyond just…ADHD or something like it—been putting off for a LONG time. Like, two years, I think it’s been since I got these things and have been meaning to put them up.

Well, a couple nights ago, someone was prowling around my car parked out in our front yard. We know because they dropped an iPhone there. Random, I know. I think they were probably high. Maybe even un-housed. Anyway…it just reminded Liz and I that we have security cameras tha...

Day 3,868: Soft

Needed a saturday like today. Whew! Pretty chill. And by that I mean…I got a good night’s sleep and when I woke up, it was grey outside, overcast, and I had the time and energy to get out into the front yard and finish up the weeding/weed whacking to get things in decent shape for the next few weeks…which is all I wanted for the front yard for now. Just, get it so it doesn’t look like shit, get through this spring season to the point where all those weeds calm the eff down for a while, and then ...

Day 3,867: Confidence

I had a normal day today! lol. Amazing how it feels when you get a full night’s sleep, which I did.

Busy day with work, actually. Got my writing in. And then podcasted with Josh. We were able to meet decently early so that we got out at a decent hour. The movie we watched was fun this time around! Notorious. Ingrid Bergman can get it, man. She’s so, sooo good. Same thing with Cary Grant and Claude Rains. Dynamite trio.

Now…sleep. Night night.

Day 3,866: Cookin

I did that thing this morning where you get up to go pee…thirty minutes before your alarm is supposed to go off. So of course I didn’t fall back asleep. Groooaaannn. But whatevs — I just got up early and did my writing.

I waaasss tired. It wasn’t super duper productive those two hours, but I did do them, and I did get work done. Good work, too. Outline for this first book of the two-parters is getting close. Real close. Just gotta keep at it. Gonna be a banger.

That’s all I got for you ton...

Day 3,865: Another Coops

Woooo howdy I am tired. But damn it was a good day. Work was long, but nothing too bad. Writing was good! Really solid, even. I have one more thing to really flesh out, but I’m super close.

Sleep. Then repeat. Life is good 🙂

Night yall!

Day 3,864: Philly

It’s bed time, so a quick one…but a good day. A really good day. Wiped! But good.

K.

Night night.

Day 3,863: Holiday

I think today was exactly what I needed, this extra day off. Whew. Committed to a new short-term project with a friend, so that adds a little extra to my plate…but it’s something I haven’t done before, something I’ve always wanted to do. So, that’s exciting! I’m super excited. And nervous. I really hope I can do a good job for my friend.

I got rest. My head space is: let’s go. Let’s get this shit done. That’s a good headspace to be in. It’s time. The weather is starting to get warm. It’s go t...
