Happy hour

I drank many amber pints after work. Every Friday, the office has bit of a social gathering, you see. I’m a little too buzzed to dig in and write it seems. My goal over the weekend is to get my cover illustration brief(s) put together. The priority is on HUNTING […]

Portugal. The Man.

Work, then a concert tonight, so not a lot of time to write. It’s Portugal. The Man and I am pumped! Given them a listen if you haven’ t already. Indie rock to the max! I didn’t think I’d write at all today, but I founy myself with a pint, […]

Pacing and structure wins!

2,000 net new words. A good shift. Solid day at work, then came home: ate, wrote, gym, wrote. Something like 6pm-8, 8-9:30, 9:30-11 (now)… so assuming I go to about 11:30 that’s four hours doing writing or writing related things. Clocked in 2,000 net new words across two scenes for […]

Zzzzzz

I am bad at sleeping. Always have been. Every 2-3 weeks or so, I’ll have a night where I can’t fall asleep until it’s nearly time to wake up. Sometimes it’s simpler and less disruptive to simply skip the sleep and have a weird, fuzzy day. Last night was one […]

Hunting Midnight

Today’s the last day of my summer vacation. I’ve been off work since August 3rd, and my brain has gotten somewhat used to the unstructured nature of the days. I’ll need to find the fire and energy to sustain the production of words in the evenings, mornings and weekends. Luckily, […]

Usually, they are from people adding it to their various reading lists. Occasionally, it’ll be because someone voted on a chapter (akin to a […]

Three thunderstorms

Three! That’s how many we had to drive through today to get to my friend’s place up north. Keeping in threes, today was the first of three legit vacation days, made more poignant by the fact that I’d missed Osheaga. The weather was (clearly) sketchy, so I was faced with […]

Brick by brick

Lots of socializing to do today, but there was an hour in between a Game of Thrones catchup session that was used to do stuff. I didn’t feel intimidated by the fixes require in CHILDSEEKER’S so… off I went. And: success! Chapter one was successfully cut to start where I […]

Too hungover to title

Welp, today has basically been a write off! Last night the wine-adventures were… extensive and I’ve been nursing a lovely headache all day. Typing this sucks. In order to avoid a full-on zero day, I did some reading on KDP publishing. If the body stops rebelling in the next few […]
