One year update

My things:

✍🏼 Writer - My debut novel coming in 2026.
🤫 Writer - Four novels previously published under pen name
💻 Tech - I optimize websites for a living
📚 Books - Voracious reader
♀️ Women's Sports - Because everyone watches
🏈 Football - All the sportsball but NFL is my first love
I did not write all of the words this weekend but I wrote a lot of them. Then I got stuck. So badly stuck that I am just staring at a blank paged title "Chapter 30".
So fucking stuck.

Along with adding in all the little quirky things the people around you do, as my wife would be the first to tell you.
Writing is just repurposing all of the information you've ever ingested or learned into story form. So learn/watch/observe as much as you can. Even what seems pointless still matters.

My wife is home from the family holiday dinner. We don't spend much time apart these days and I always comment about getting some time alone but really, I miss her when she's not here. She's back now, soon to be sitting on her end of the couch with her iPad. And all will be right with the world.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! Nice start to the day here. I'm watching the Lions game. My wife is cooking her contribution to dinner at her son's. I'm skipping this year since I'm still in recovery mode. Which means I get a good chunk of time to myself for more football and writing. It's a good day!
November 27, 2025 at 6:51 PM
My plan for these 5 days off is to write as much as I can. Still recovering from the cardiac ablation but thankfully sitting on the couch with my laptop counts as resting. Almost 3k words knocked out today so off to a good start. 42k down, 30k to go!

Today is the first of 5 days in which I will have no idea what day it is nor what day tomorrow is. I have already made references to tomorrow being Saturday but I didn't work today so it feels like today is Saturday but that means football is on tomorrow. And it is, just to be even more confusing.

I love that following a bunch of Seahawks fans means the algo feeds me random posts from people in Seattle which means I get to see cool pictures from where I used to live.

Last night I finished the 3rd rewrite of the first book I plan to query & maybe release under my own name. It's had two pivots but I think I'm happy with the story & structure now. I sent it to my wife's kindle and she's been reading for hours, occasionally yelling out, "This is so much better". 👍
