Yes, it happened, I lost my daily writing streak for the dumbest reason
After almost 5 months without missing one single night of writing, it happened, and in the dumbest way possible: I fell asleep on the couch watching a movie. It was, maybe 10pm, and woke up well after 1am. Missed my blogpost and work deadline. Real amateur hour on my behalf. So, yea… No use crying…

New week, steady course, high motivation
I’m officially supposed to start the new book this week; or at the very least, commence organizing my past notes and doing research. The objective should be 2-3 sessions this week; then, once I actually start the writing per se, increase to 4-5 night sessions. Completely doable, and certainly necessary. No phone, no interruptions, no…

Over-indulgence weekend
Had a whole weekend 100% to myself. I rarely get those, maybe one every 6 months or so. It’s not the norm, that’s why, when I have them, I dive into excessiveness; responsibly, of course, no consequences. This translates into whatever makes me happy. Give into impulsiveness. Anything within the reach of comfortable walking distance,…

It’s finally here
Ladies and gentlemen and others, after 5 days of waking up early, working, responsibilities, exercising, dieting, going to sleep early, rinse and repeat, it’s finally here. A DAY OFF Watch a game or a couple, play a game, have a pizza or two or three, have a bottle or two or three, watch a movie,…

Why do it today with no rush, when you could do it tomorrow under pressure?
It’s amazing how losing one single evening can fuck up basically your entire weekly schedule. You lost it, ok. Drinking, eating, playing video games, procrastinating, at an event, etc. You lost it doing something you were not supposed to do because it wasn’t planned. You had your fun at that moment. Present me had a…

Failure to launch, think, write…
I’ve been here 17 minutes (and counting) looking at this screen, trying to think of something worthwhile to write about, while listening to a progressive house concert on YouTube. Zero ideas, zero positive thoughts. Just more rants and complaining. I still have almost 4 more months of this, and I gotta be honest, sometimes it’s…

No more procrastination, I declare!
I found a solid activity that allows me to enjoy most of my idle time between work, clients, exercise, study and personal life time. THE only drawback is that it absorbed my series, videogame and social media time. Maybe this last 3-6 weeks, or at least until I finish all of my client’s bookings til…

Officially starting again, but soon, like in a couple of weeks, maybe, IDK
I’m feeling it, it’s getting closer, it’s just a matter of time until… I finally get my shit together and sit down to start writing a new novel. Ideas? I have tons of them without even checking my past notes. Mindset? Well, there you got me. I have to start forcing myself to create more…

The pursuit of a good-night sleep
One of my biggest obtainable dreams is being able to be in bed already by 11am, falling asleep in 5-10 minutes, and waking up 8 hours later fully-recharged. I can’t do it. It’s impossible. There is always something happening that ultimately affects me. Whereas is the AC not working to capacity, the ceiling fan making…

Forecast for the weekend: nothing
“Nothing” I’m even smiling as I think and type. It’s my favorite time of the week again. Two whole days of resting, zero work (almost), no wake-up alarm, special breakfast in the morning, special dinner in the evening, and alcohol is allowed. I’ve done enough all through May, and the next two weeks of June…
