Great day today. I spent the day preparing Year of the Rat for my editor, which I will send to her tomorrow afternoon. It’s also my birthday today, so had a great dinner with family and lots of cake. Anyway, more updates tomorrow. Beast Mode begins tomorrow. Have a...

Interesting day today. I’ve been spending the majority of it doing the final loop. I call it the final master loop—it’s when I sweep through the chapters and clean them up. The wonderful thing is that I write pretty clean so I’m not spending very much time per...

WOW. I finally finished the novel. It clocked in at 81,000 words. Wowza. My longest novel yet. But I finally said goodbye to The Chicago Rat Shifter series. What a crazy ride with fun characters. For reading, data analysis, and marketing—no work today because I...

I’m trucking along today. Lots of stuff going on, so I was a bit scattered today, honestly. But it was still very productive. For reading and data analysis—no work today as I’m in the final throes of this novel and that’s the most important thing right now. I should...

Oh boy, I’m zero words for the day and just getting started with the words. Can I hit my quota? Can I??? Probably. LOL Today was pretty productive all things considered. For reading, no activities in that area today. For data analysis and marketing, I put together the...

Solid day today. I’ve already hit my quota for the day and I’m going to keep charging forward, but man, this novel is inching to the end. For data analysis and marketing, I did some competitive research for a new book I’m going to be writing soon. This book kind of...

Very good today but my word counts were a bit low at about 400 words. I had to take care of some business stuff today for a future book that will hopefully be coming later this year. Can’t say much about it but the work today was all good stuff. So today wasn’t a...

Another productive day. Yesterday I fell just short of my quota but I ended on a good stopping point. I still netted two chapters yesterday so I consider that progress. Today I hit my quota no problem. For reading, I finished IDW’s TMNT Vol. 6 (not 5). Another great...

I’m making progress. Today was the first normal day in a few days. For reading, I continued Vol. 5 of IDW’s TMNT. I’m about halfway through and should finish over the weekend. For data analysis, no work today. For marketing, no work today. My main focus is getting...

Moderately OK day today. I’m surviving and that’s what matters. For reading, I continued Vol. 5 of IDW’s TMNT. About halfway through it. Very excited to read my next book on African Mythology. For data analysis, there are two things on my mind right now. The next 500...
