Finished re-reading all the transcripts for the 17 hours of David Neagle calls (actually, there are two I only have audio for, so listened to 17 hours and read through 15.) Amazing and inspirational –– and like the missing piece (for me) between all the Law of Attraction stuff and The Real Worl...

Well, almost. Yesterday afternoon, I got a message saying that the Simone Dinnerstein concert was postponed because of illness.  Unfortunately, it’s now happening when Susan is teaching in Hawaii so everything must be re-conceived. And all day long I have been re-conceiving the novel as screenpl...

Yesterday I read and posted a review on amazon for Christina Lewis Halpern’s LONELY AT THE TOP, a Kindle single (which means it’s an excellent short read for $1.99). Christina is a friend of mine and she’s the sister of LLS, my creative collaborator, muse, fellow crackpot adventurer, and ...

That’s what Dan asked when I told him how great my phone conversation was with my Producer today, a phone call she interrupted only briefly to handle a negotiation regarding the third film in a series that’s thus far grossed 1.2 BILLION dollars (I looked it up). I didn’t mention the Scotc...

Sometimes it is hard to tell them apart. But Voltaire wrote, “Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien.” (“The better is the enemy of the good.”) While Jim Collins said, “Good is the enemy of great.” I thought of both today during my last “on the schedule” Lotus class....

Went swimming for the first time since mid-summer and it was fantastic. I have been feeling a bit jealous of Belle’s swimming career, although I am not quite brave enough to venture into the Bay to join her. An extraordinary Yelp offer ($55 for a massage and one month of a gym membership) yielded an ...

Yesterday I quoted Brad Goreski saying “Cute does not pay the bills” and while I totally understand that, in my heart of hearts I just don’t believe it.  (Susan pointed it out tonight as well, just as we were about to enter a Fragrance Fest –– more on that soon). I do thi...

            Like Tintin, I awoke today and immediately did a long (6 minute) headstand. Apparently Tintin also does yoga in another one of his adventures, again without any explanation –– it’s just sort of happening and no one remarks or even seems to notice it. Belle...

Specifically, , a documentary about screenwriting. Seriously.  (And I think they were just going for the Script/Crypt sound-alike thing in the title for laughs without realizing they’d made an actual horror film.) But retracing my day to happier beginnings … A super-productive morning (I c...
