varying degrees of light

...because I'm working on my short story alongside my boy, Joel. It's fun and one of the most difficult things I've ever done.

What I've learned:

You can't force it.

You can't rush it.

Coffee is bad, but good and necessary.

I wish I could smoke in here.

It's counterproductive to write with the mental parameters of literature in mind. It's best to write straight for hours and hours before reading it and organizing it.

If I hope to do this, or some form of this, for a living, then I need to get much, much better.

Snoop Dogg's new video, though it is edited, sucks.
