More Gut Feeling

Canva is great for making really swell and professional graphics

Howdy Quaid!

Okay, so we're deep in the process of producing this audiobook. When I say we, I mean the other people. I pretty much mostly did my part. Now I just wait for my turn to listen to what they've produced and Lessa narrated, and then the last bits of clean up and it's gonna be out there and I feel really excited about it.

As I've said, this is a very special book to me, and I'm invested in it landing well with people. I feel like it really could be a book that a lot of people relate to. I've never read anything like it, and I hope there's room for a book like this. There has to be, right?

I decided to make this dumb bullshit in Canva because it's fun and I can do that instead of writing but still feel like I'm KIND of writing.

Speaking of Gut Feeling, it's out on Kindle now!

I'm also about 40% done with the sequel to Apocalpystick, which is wild since I just put the first one out, but here we are.

Ya know, about five or six months ago, my doctor increased my ADHD meds and completely coincidentally, I also started prolifically writing around that same time. I cranked out four books (Apocalyptick, Gut Feeling, Uncontrollable Urge, and Freedom of Choice. The last two are still unpublished) and got well into started on at least two others (Alice, the sequel to Apocalypstick) so I'm thinking of this year as a particularly productive one.

It's actually the year when I decided to start treating writing like a job. I write about three or four hours a day, at least. Sometimes as much as five or six hours. So I feel good about my output lately. I just need to get everything finished and published. Then I can finally rest my tired old bones.

I dunno. It's after midnight and I'm listening to Randy Newman and avoiding sleeping.

That said, I went to see Backrooms: Everything Must Go or whatever they're calling the extended version. But it was only playing at 9:30 at night for some reason, so I used the last of my gift card and some points and managed to go see it for free, and I practically fell asleep in the theater. Apparently I can't do movies after 8 anymore. I was in the front row too, my mouth hanging open and my eyes almost closed.

I got up and left about an hour in because I couldn't keep my eyes open.

So no review of that one. Plus I'm sleepy now. So goodnight.

Sorry folks, the park is closed. The moose out front shoulda told you.
