I’ve had a weird week. It’s been oddly unproductive, yet also flying by way too quickly. In fact, it’s nearly over, and I’ve gotten very little done. The dishwasher is broken, for one thing. I spent some time trying to fix it and concluded that it was beyond my skill to heal. It needs Elvish →

I think the hardest writing thing I’ve tried to do so far is to write the Amazon book description for Somewhat Alive. It shouldn’t be that hard, seeing as how I wrote the entire book, yet it is. They only give me 4000 characters to convince people my book is worth reading. Not that I →

Well, it rained. It rained from the moment we checked into our hotel all the up until the moment we dragged ourselves out of Magic Kingdom at one in the morning or so. It literally rained on both our parades and rained while we watched fireworks. It rained so much they brought out guys with →

I’m going to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party soon. I just hope it doesn’t rain. Everyone please think anti-rain thoughts with me. It’s not the end of the world if it rains, just I really don’t want it to. If it rains, the Headless Horseman cannot ride, and we have to see the Headless →

Well, Lord of the Rings Day successfully came and went. The ring was safely deposited in Mount Doom, and we feasted like hobbits all Labor Day. Why Labor Day, you ask? It’s because it’s a lot of work to get the ring to Mordor. We haven’t yet watched the new Lord of the Rings tv →

Today I posted the last of my Kindle Vella episodes of Somewhat Alive. That means it’s time to go pretty hard on getting my book ready to publish as a Kindle eBook. I’m assuming there’s a lot nuances and things involved that I’m currently unfamiliar with. That’s okay, though. I don’t mind learning. Speaking of →

It feels like August is going by really fast. I don’t exactly know why. Time has felt off ever since 2020, if we’re being honest. Sometimes it feels like it passes too slowly, and sometimes it feels like it passes too quickly. It never seems to pass at the appropriate rate, like it used to. →

Guys! It’s National Bad Poetry Day! This day is very special to me, because when it comes to bad poetry, no one writes like me! I think in honor of the day, I’m going to need to compose a new, original bad poem. In case you didn’t know, pretty much all my poems are exclusively →

Today is the official first day of school for us. As far as school goes, ours is fairly unobtrusive. It’s still a change though, and I will need to consider our daily schedules and figure out what adjustments need to be made to keep everything moving smoothly. This weekend, I was weak and went ahead →

This week has been so busy! It’s Thursday today, and it’s the first day all week that I’ve had time to sit down and write anything. Part of it is to be expected, considering that school is starting up soon. Schools always want so many forms and phone calls and details. I try very hard →

I’ve been hitting the songwriting pretty hard lately. We’re trying to write seven songs in seven days and then we’re going to pick the best of them and polish it up and see if we can make it good. Whenever we write songs, I’m reminded of that part in Dogs Don’t Tell Jokes, where Goon →

There’s a lot of really good feelings out there. I love how it feels when you’ve been out of town for two weeks and then you come home and the cat sits with you and purrs. Also when you tumble into your own bed with your freshly washed sheets that Past You thoughtfully remade the →

I like the idea of sabbaticals a lot. I love the idea of taking time off and having an extended period of rest to refresh your creativity and enable you to return with renewed enthusiasm and verve. Unfortunately, I also like the idea of being incredibly productive at all times. Is there really any better →

My kids are at camp this week. The house feels weirdly quiet, although I’m sure the cat will do her best to make up the difference come meal time. She’s very vocal when hungry. It could be a good week to get lots of work done or a good week to prepare for the next →

I like holiday weekends, but it always feels harder to get my head in the game afterward. I’m realizing just how much I enjoy routine. I wish I didn’t, because I’d prefer to enjoy big adventures and spontaneity. Of course, I don’t mind a little spontaneity, as long as it’s carefully planned in advance and →

Tomorrow is July 1st. Like everyone else in the world, I’m looking forward to watching the next part of Stranger Things. I bought some Eggos, so we are ready. I liked the first part of season 4. I love how Running Up That Hill has become so popular. I’m really happy for Kate Bush. Like…imagine →

You should probably know that I hate most sports. Or perhaps I just feel an intense, burning indifference. It’s just that they don’t even try to make themselves entertaining. Everyone on the team wears the same thing! Imagine if each position had a different costume. You know, like quarter backs could always wear one style →

I’ve come to really hate airplane travel. This is unfortunate, because I also really love traveling and want to see everything and go everywhere. I suppose I could always do it Around the World in 80 Days-style. Trains, boats, sledges, and the occasional elephant. It’d be great. Lately, whenever I fly, my ears feel horrible. →

My kids are at Surf Camp this week, which I think is really cool. When I was a teenager, I always wanted to learn how to surf, but sadly, we lived in the wrong part of Florida for that. But you never know. If my kids get good enough, I can get them to teach →

It’s been quite the long week here. Sickness took precedence over everything else. It sort of worked out because we were able to binge all of Stranger Things 4, which was amazing. Sometimes Stranger Things makes me feel oddly wistful for the eighties. I wasn’t very old in the eighties, but everything feels very familiar, →
