I’m learning the hard way that social life can be weird while working at home. I miss so many of my friends, but I can’t see everyone, because my groups are too varied, and I can’t go to everything. It sucks. Working at home makes my schedule more flexible, but it doesn’t mean I get
This morning, I’m a bit behind. Sometimes, writing all day for several days can kinda gum me up. I get locked into my own little world, and have a hard time stepping away. So today I’m taking a break. Jenny and I are working on our extensive to-do list, and I’m doing my best to
In my never-ending, but often suspended, effort to write my fantasy books, I gave myself a full work day yesterday. I typed for over 8 hours, at over 1,000 words an hour. I typed over 8,800 words in one long marathon, and I’m ready to do it again today. If I do this, and nothing
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. A few hundred emails, messages, and letters later, my birthday is over. Holy shit dudes. If the Internet was slow at your house, it’s probably because my computer was hogging it all. I avoided my computer, phone, and such most of the day, so when I finally sat down…
Today, I leave behind one of my greatest anxieties. For some irrational reason, I’ve been afraid to turn 27 for years. As of this morning, that anxiety can pass. I’m 28, and I don’t have to worry about it anymore. In case you don’t know about the 27 Club, I’ll drop some sweet knowledge on
I do this thing when I’m bored, or a bird flies by, or someone clicks on their mouse a bunch of times, or… I just did it with my own post. I get bored, my mind drifts, and then I’m shocked into this moment of, “WTF just happened?!” It’d by okay if I were even
Some days, I sit down at my computer, see that blank page, and have no idea what is going on. It’s like walking into a room, walking back out, and walking back in, hoping that your brain will remember what the hell you were doing. Just like that, except with writing. Most of the time,
Well, too damned bad! It’s summer, and I’m sweating at six in the morning. Can’t we just skip the last part of summer in Arizona? Wait. I take that back. Let’s wait a few days. I’m looking forward to my birthday. Guess I’ll sweat it out. Take note, Summer: Winter is coming. And Winter? I’m
I finally won my first game of Trivial Pursuit! In your face, past Me! Booya. I was excited until Jenny pointed out that I beat our kids at Trivial Pursuit Junior. Well, shit. Now I’m feeling slightly less awesome. No. Screw that. I had fun, and that’s all that matters. My wife and kids played
Today is weird. I woke up feeling great. I had a responsible breakfast, and took my medication. I did my normal, but now I feel faint and sick. I’ve done a pretty decent amount of sitting on the stairs instead of going up and down all at once. I can only attribute this to my
