What I'm Doing Now

(This is my Now page, an idea I got from Derek Sivers who also runs nownownow.com and thinks you should build one, too.)

Working on

Still continuing to work on the first draft of my sci-fi space opera novel, clocking in at close to 12k words and 11 chapters.

Fun things

I recently watched the RoboCop documentary on Amazon Prime and it didn't disappoint. It was an insane production, but if you know who Paul Verhoeven is and his work, you wouldn’t be surprised. You may have seen the clip making the rounds of social media if your algorithm is set up to serve you movies and sci-fi content. Below is the famous clip that is a snapshot of what the production was like. Warning: Peter Weller drops some F-bombs.

The famous Oreo story from the documentary, “RoboDoc.”

Currently reading

I have a problem with trying to read too many books at once. Here are a few that I'm really into that are holding top spots on my Kindle.

Recently read

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #54 - Mike Mignola's (Hellboy creator) wonderful take on Batman. If you were to apply "voice" to the visual arts of comic books, Mignola would be at the top of that list of comic book artists whose work is wholly recognizable off the bat (that pun wasn't intended).
The Bullet Journal Method - Ryder Carroll's (the creator of the bullet journal method) deep dive into how he came up with this unique way of task management/journaling/organization (it's also so much more), the process of how to bullet journal and the philosophy how capturing moments in your life can lead to profound changes. After years of either being too lazy or ... too lazy ... to look into how to bullet journal, I watched one of Ryder's videos on how to journal when you only have five minutes. That led me down the rabbit hole of other videos to then buying his book and starting my own bullet journal. I think at some point I'll talk about my process here on the blog.
