Zen Madman Day 7 of 100

I woke up grumpy and unshaven. I’m going to sleep cleaner and happier. Today started off rough, but picked up. Tomorrow will be a long day.

Zen Madman Day 6 of 100

Another mediocre day. I wanted to write 10 chapters today, but managed to finish only 3. Is it possible that I’ve overwhelmed myself with too much stuff to do?

Zen Madman Day 5 of 100

It rained. I’m not sure that helped me get stuff done, but it was soothing in its own way. I quickly learned the drawback of having window screens to let in the breeze. This flooding was nothing like the dishwasher fiasco, though.
Not too much poker. Lots of poker videos:

Zen Madman Day 1 of 100

I woke up exhausted today. Within an hour I was on the creative high of pounding out a couple chapters. I got a sorely needed haircut, played some bass and guitar, got a little free fighting in, ran a mile, then came home for round 2 of poker. I only had 2 hours scheduled, so [...]

Zen Madman Day 0 of 100

I began my 100 Days of the Zen Madman at the stroke of midnight. More like the click of midnight since everything’s digital these days. I’m only five hours into my madness, and I’m already tired as hell. That’s because I’m out of shape, out of practice, and thoroughly unprepared for what lies ahead. Rather, [...]
