I’m writing this at 11:30 Saturday night. Becky is in the back bedroom trying not to throw-up which she’s been doing all day. I finished doing my work for the day on my novel but I still have a wee bit of writing energy to burn off and haven;t quite figured out how to write [...]

There was a moment yesterday at lunch where I wished I was Matt Damon’s character from GOOD WILL HUNTING. As part of my job, I research and find lots of modern and obscure medical journal articles relating to the field here. And of course, being a reader, I always give the articles a quick read [...]

Painting is one of the few home type project I truly detest. And here I am stuck with a house in which every wall and the ceiling needs to be painted. Luckily, much of the prep work is not needed because we don’t have floors or furtniture to worry about ruining. Becky’s parents did a [...]

Sure Easter was early this year, but snow? Come on. I’m just about sick of this state and its weather now. I think Becky and I would both be happy on a beach somewhere for the next few months. She could enjoy being pregnant and I could get this beast of a book under control.

Man, is it really only Wednesday? This week is draaaaaaaaaaging by. But I really don’t want to speed anything up because that just puts us closer to D-Day for the big baby event which I’m still not sure I’m ready for. It hit home in a different way last week while Becky and I were [...]

Part of me has always envied the guys who have wives who make more than they do. The dream of the kept man with nothing to do all day but sleep in late, play video games, watch cartoons, and stay up late. My wife makes more than I do and I have to say, in [...]

I’ve spent the last few days trying to expel some sort of creeping flue like crud from my system so I’m not up for a long blog post today. I’m still bouncing back and forth between the screenplay and the book with neither really burning my fire. I’ll have a day where I’m excited about [...]

I collect writing advice like some people collect spoons. But every once in a while a piece of advice that is so amazing that it completely alters the way I work. The first was when I discovered Syd Field’s description of the four act screenplay structure. That was revolutionary to me and just the sort [...]

I have not been sleeping well since we got back from Florida. Maybe it’s my body’s way of geeting me used to the sleep deprivation that will come with the baby. Blah. I like my sleep.
The writing is going okay, but I’m still feeling funky about it. I spent some time yesterday going through me [...]

The end of a vacation is always bitter sweet. While I’m happy to be home, it was 80 when we left and now it’s cold and snowy. And I have to go back to work tomorrow. Bleh. I’ll update with some more details of our adventures later this week, but you are all here today [...]
