I mentioned before that I finished the character beat outline, and I hoped my next post would be me Arwinning the final outline. Well, it’s the next-next post, but that’s fine. Since then I have done ALL THE OUTLINES and am finally ready to write. In fact, I have been writing all of April. Well…re-writing … More Outline, outlined
I’ve had a really hard time since losing an hour. Haven’t slept well, haven’t been able to do much more than the 40 hour work week and play Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Waking up in just enough time to get ready – maybe five to ten minutes of working on my outline, each day. So not … More Time change drain

And it’s something I’ve been really struggling with lately. This notion of death, of legacy, of sacrifice, and of lives not lived…

I started listening to this podcast called “The Hilarious World of Depression,” where they mainly interview famous comedians and authors that have depression or dealt with depression-adjacent issues. One episode, though, was devoted to what fans of the show do to soothe their soul. Or as the … More Stand by me, sanshin
I used to have another blog. I really enjoyed writing it and interacting with people. But I was gone from it so long that I feel it’s no longer representative of my life, and I struggled with whether to delete it or keep it.
