The wine won in the end

Did better today! Up by 9:30am. 11:30am now and haven’t done a tone of work, but I did do some errands and am ready to start rocking and rolling. Putting time into some ops right now, figuring out processes and how to track things so that I can sustain this […]

Edits and operations

Did not wake up early as planned; forgot that my alarm was disabled, ha! At least I am well-rested, right? Was up until 2am last night, plugging away at that last crit, worked from 5-11pm solid, with some stuff beforehand too. Today I was up around 11am, showered and fed […]

Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows

I loved them all, you see. That is what’s important to understand. We were brothers! Not literally, but two years of intensive training can forge a family out of anyone. I got the notion from Lollipops himself — he shouted something about brothers at me when he came foolishly charging. […]

Binge watched all of Rick & Morty. No regrets.

Well, today was in total contrast to yesterday! I woke up late, skipped the gym, ate poorly and binge watched Rick & Morty. Did a little bit of read through editing for MIDNIGHT HANDS but otherwise wasted much of the day! I don’t feel too bad about it, because you […]

He left for the gym and never came back :'(

I was supposed to fly out to Montreal at 12:15pm today, which left maybe an hour or two in between sleeping in and leaving for any writing… but then that flight got canceled. Since I fly standby, it meant no other option until 8:15! So, most of the day was […]

Third day is not the charm

Wrote: 75 new words in 10 minutes 🙂 Project(s): MIDNIGHT HANDS (part 1) Today’s not going to have much, unless I’m inspired later. Work plus getting ready for my trip to Montreal basically ate the day. Didn’t get up early, got roped into an after hours event that will monopolize […]

Is this thing on?

Write: 4,000 new words in 4.5 hours across two sessions. Edit: Minor touch-ups here and there, as I skimmed earlier scenes Project(s): MIDNIGHT HANDS (part 1) Current dilemma involves word counts, and when or if to split a story at a certain point. Also on my mind is a big […]

The daily blog project

I’m going to try to write a journal entry about becoming a self-published writer: every day for a year. My starting stats aren’t zero when it comes to writing, but close enough to zero when it comes to making money with it. In the past year and a half, I’ve […]
