Something isn't Nothing

It feels so good to be writing again. It's such a simplistic statement, but filled with truth. Writing feels like home.

But I know it looks like I haven't been writing anything because I haven't posted anything here and that is true. But it is also because I picked up my work-in-progress, How To Be A Good Boy, after not touching it for months. And I guess I just didn't want to lose that momentum by working on an essay.

But I am pleased as hell to share that I have written 20,822 words of a book. A fictional book. When I started, getting to this point seemed utterly impossible. And now here I am, with almost a whole book written.

I know I talked about my foot surgery, and I'll tell you, that was the decompression space that I needed to find this story again. I think it's possible I could have this book finished (obviously just the first draft,) in a week or so?

Is it possible!?

Could be have a second draft done by the time I'm done recovering from my second foot surgery? Even crazier, could I start writing ANOTHER!?

I dunno, but we will see. I currently have about 4 books in progress on my head, of not on paper. Maybe I can get two done this year.

I always said that if I just had a month off, I could write a book in 30 days and turns out, I wasn't that far off. And I'm about to have another month off.

This is it guys, I know it. I needed to take a few steps back so that I could get a running start.

I also have some other really exciting news but that is going to have to wait, because I just wanted to talk about how I've written over TWENTY THOUSAND WORDS of a book.

That's all. Pat me on the back. Or even better, share my substack with someone you think would like it.
