Still sailing strong

I functioned normally today, huzzah. Even got up early and got a scene written before the day started. This paid off, because the evening got booked for socializing (it’s been over a week… since New Years basically). Can he make morning writing a habit? The night owl in him scoffs […]

Not a case of the Mondays

I kicked today’s ass! Bad sleep, usually a bad sign. I was up before 5am and in my office by 6am, opting to make use of the morning instead of trying to fruitlessly corral Z’s. Was able to get some solid HM plotting done, got started on work catch-up early. […]

Winter challenge begins

Being sick for the past few days resulted in an unintended extension of the holiday “break.” Tomorrow is back to work in earnest, along with it come some pressing projects. This, plus the requirement to move house in less than 60 days and the gloomy weather in general will make […]

The original comics

When MostlyLies first started out, it was a home for webcomics. We wrote dozens, and ended up illustrating only five. They were glorious and I’m still proud of how they turned out. Here they all are. Comic number one is the inspiration for the Mostly Lies logo. And it all […]

Plots and relics

A dramatic post title for a pretty uneventful day all around. Still fighting sickness, so I hermitted and binged Stranger Things 2. Made some plot notes for Ep4 and wrote 112 words in the opening scene so I didn’t have a zero. Other than that, dug up some old (well, […]

New short

With all current stories drafted, and only a large seas of plotting in my future, I found I needed to crank out a Reddit writing prompt story in order to ensure I wrote something today. In 808 words (in an hour or less, it came quickly!) I wrote Blueprints. Also […]

Words, in spite of the germs

After spending the better part of the day in recovery, I crawled out to the computer and pecked away until 2,366 words completed Hunting Midnight, Episode Three: The Trouble with Vines. Freakin’ finally. It ended up way longer than intended at just over 25,000 words, which makes it longer than […]

Suddenly, germs

Crap, got sick. The buzzing feeling kept me up all last night, and during that time whatever immune system bullshit the holidays bestowed upon + dem damn pathogens have gotten into my throat. Had to take the day off, may goon the rest of the week. Scraped out 316 words […]

Caffeine power?

I usually try to drink only 2 cups of coffee per day, and both before noon, lest I tend to have even crappier sleeps compared to the spotty snoozin’ performance I already endure. Today I did three (before noon… I’m a madman, I know), and maybe the office brew is […]

Hey there 2018!

A day like any other, so it feels, ‘cept I emerged out of bed at around 3pm… Yet not feeling too bad despite getting in after 4am last night, heh. And before 6pm, I’d written 850 words. Energy is admittedly low, but I didn’t want the first log in the […]
