Last post, I had mentioned a hopeful surge in early April writing output. But as the cards were dealt, turns out I’m in another mini drought (only 1,300 words or so in the past 8 days). This was due to a combo of a busy weekend, a busy workweek, multiple […]
The back half of March was relatively weak on the fiction front, wherein I only made my daily word goal twice between March 14th and 31st (total words were over 6,100 though, thanks to the Write Every Day discipline). But since Monday, I got over a story hump and have […]

Over the past few days, I completed the introductory posts (“The Basics”) for The Self Pub Hub. Though I still want to add imagery to most, I spent a terrible amount of time scouring the Internet for them so I went ahead with the dry versions. These will be updated […]
And then: sore throat. Congestion. Energy drain. Since I’ve been using a spreadsheet to track my life this year, I actually know that it’s been 66 days since I last felt sick. Fascinating! But also shitty, because I used to go YEARS without feeling sick. I remember feeling smug and […]
Today I logged 1,300 words, and it was for a post inside the Self Pub Hub. All the other words to date were mainly in Hunting Midnight or the occasional short, all of which was fiction. This isn’t crazily significant, but thought I’d make the note. Normally I wasn’t counting […]
And it’s the biggest yet! Unedited, the final scene of 869 words puts the final word count a few shy of 27,000, making it the longest one yet. Now comes the familiar crossroads: keep forging ahead or switch gears? I’ve been wanting to spin up content for The Self Pub […]
Despite getting home close to 12pm then napping the afternoon away, still managed 2,345 words as well as some other mini project stuff, plus I made dinner and did dishes feel generally like an adult human. Not sure if it’s the new place or not! Still adjusting. The “home office” […]
Today I went to the gym for the first time in like, four months. Because of the move, I now have easy access to my workplace’s health club–which is in fact the first semi-public gym that I ever attended. It’s the place that helped get me over the mental hurdle […]
