Day: May 27, 2026

I’m alive and happy and trying to figure out the plan for today. I’ve come up with a more regular schedule that is, of course, based around academic workload. I need to checkin three times a week at least on the work and that will align with the day after work is due. Likewise there are responsibilities as a student that I have and that can be up to three times a week, also aligning with the due dates. This makes it so I have a few days in which the morning routine is becoming more and more set. I have a good idea that the mornings ought to be the time I get things done, because I don’t have a lot in me once evening rolls around.

What I haven’t gotten is that writing routine. The sprints are helping, but those are not the end all of the writing process. They merely get me moving forward. I gotta keep moving though. I must find myself a better way to be, because I am in a place where I need to get the writing done and fast.

Some Thoughts:

1. Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Packers running back Josh Jacobs arrested on charges related to domestic abuse” Bonkers or not? More and more we are seeing these charges spring up in regards to football players and other professionals who live that life of violence. When you do violence it appears that stopping or controlling yourself is a lot harder than it seems. Still to (possibly) throw away a career and that kind of generational wealth? Men, we gotta have more self control. We also need to get negative people out of our lives.
2. Not gonna talk about the Knicks yet… Soon.

I’ve convinced myself that in order to be a good writer you need to sit in a chair for hours and write, write, write. What if I’m wrong? Yesterday was the first time I used the ten minute method on any of my active writing projects and it went absurdly well. Writing nonstop for ten minutes about the stuff that is all jammed up in your brain is a surefire way to combat writers block. See, you wind up having those tough conversations and dealing with all of those issues and concerns on the paper or on the screen where it can actually be seen and considered. I have 5 drafts due and spent ten minutes dealing with each in turn and that turned into a wonderful opportunity to get things down that I’d been worried about and sort out the unknowns.

It worked and I am thinking that this is going to be a core part of what I do.

So, is this the only part? No. I do need butt in chair but I cn do it in various doses of time. I can fit my writing in the way I fit a puzzle together and instead of it being an obstacle it becomes an opportunity to take advantage of the time that I have. I always have some kind of time that I can devote to the craft and the more I realize it, the more writing happens…

Some Thoughts:

1. Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “South Korean Starbucks boss apologizes for ad campaign that evoked massacre” Bruh, get some better PR people. To quote, “The campaign compounded outrage by using the slogan “Thwack it on the table!,” which many read as a reference to a notorious 1987 police statement that attempted to cover up the torture death of student activist Park Jong-chol. Police claimed that Park died suddenly after investigators “hit the desk with a thwack.””
2. I need to wait till Wednesday (that waiver day, nes pa?) to post about the high school diss track that is the top 150 of 2027, because dude did not drop the update on time… again.
