  • Monday Morning Reset [08/14].

    I really am a workaholic. I’ve come to accept and sometimes embrace this. Last week really felt like some good evidence of this. Last week, I had worked eight days in a row, and those eight days were probably some of my most productive days in recent memory. Still not as productive as I would…

  • Monday Morning Reset [08/07].

    Well, I’m about to enter the second half of my long eight-day work streak, so the past four days have been a little bit of a blur (having a shark-related “Big Damn Event” in Fandom High didn’t help, either). So things have been a little whirlwindy for me this past week, and it’s still a…

  • Monday Morning Reset [07/31].

    Tomorrow is August. That’s so crazy to me, how did we get here so fast? But time is funny like that, especially when you start living your life with a pretty set routine day to day, so that it all just kind of blurs by you like cars on the highway. August is pretty big…

  • Monday Morning Reset (on a Tuesday) [07/25].

    Man, it’s been an interesting week, if you couldn’t tell by the fact that my usual Monday Morning Reset post didn’t actually go up yesterday. I had actually forgotten that it was Monday, while actively knowing perfectly well it was Monday. It was weird, but, in my defense, last week was definitely a little more…

  • Monday Morning Reset [05/22].

    Did you ever sit to look back on a week and it all feels like just some blur? Yeah, I’m going through that right now. It wasn’t as if anything too taxing or strange happened, either, I just think last week was a bit of a fluke where I, in a fugue, just sort of…

  • Going with the Flow.

    Maybe one of these weeks, I’ll stop being so proud of my ability to just go with the flow, but it’s not happening yet. It’s a pretty big deal for me to just release my tight grip on wanting to make things go a certain way and instead go with the way the wind blows,…

  • Okay, Life. That’s enough.

    You know what would be really nice? If the world could just stop when we’re about to put a new book out, so that we can get everything done nice and neat and on schedule. Wouldn’t that be fantastic? Unfortunately, that’s not at all how the world works, and it’s going to be when you…

  • A Wee Little Catch-Up.

    Usually, if it gets to be this late in the day and I haven’t made a post yet, I leave it for the next day, but I felt the need to still put something up. The only reason why I didn’t post this morning was because I had an unexpected job interview downtown this morning…

  • The First Day of the Life I WANT to Live.

    Today is the first day of the life I want to live. A bold statement. But what the heck does it mean? It isn’t the first time I’ve written in this blog about the fact that, if I want to make writing my life, I have to start treating it like the job I want…

  • Snow Day!!!

    Here in Chicagoland…err, I mean, Chiberia, we’re experiencing record cold temperatures. Naturally, schools are closed, events are canceled, but in our crazy consumerism world, shopping malls are still open. I work at one of those, an outdoor mall, to boot, so I almost had to work today, but my Florida-native general manager managed to convince…
