Trying the Duncan Hines keto blueberry muffins this morning (with a couple of scoops of vanilla protein powder). Not bad. Not 100% the same, but 2 muffins gets me 21g of protein. They're also gluten free, which my daughter appreciates.

No Kings.

In the land of dirty minds, I remain amused there is a Beaver Toyota in Cumming, GA.

Even with the planning paralysis, I made myself do some writing (just over 500 words) and run through a bass lesson. So, with working out, that officially makes it a trio day. Now to try and make it even better by winning a poker tournament this afternoon/evening.

If you have a choice, please don't be the "Get in the hole!" guy...

I'm having one of those annoying AuDHD days. First, I feel like I'm not accomplishing enough because sitting on the couch watching golf. Nevermind I got the kids fed, made plans for dinner, and worked out. And now I don't feel I can do anything else because I want to leave in 4 hrs to play poker.

In the quest to get more protein my diet, I put my ninja blender to use. 47g protein 10g fiber 11g fat Frozen cherries, blueberries, and blackberries, chia seeds, vanilla carbmaster yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and a splash of 2% milk. Not bad.

Finished my sign. Can’t wait to explain to everyone tomorrow who these weird turtle guys are.

1467 written tonight. Having a convo with myself about the necessary realities of how to end this series and what it meant for original plan helped things flow better. I didn't finish this chapter, but I feel better about the path now--especially after reworking the outline. #amwriting #writersky

Writing has been sticky and sluggish of late, and I think I finally realized the reason. Fixing it requires shifting where I see this particular series ending. The original idea that spawned these books was a loose trilogy idea that, in theory, would fall after what I'm working on currently.

I'm the note taker for one of my D&D campaigns (well, both of them, but the other is less intensive). We've been playing since 2020 and are now level 17. I just finished indexing all of the game notes along with a Dramatis Personae. I want to give some appreciation to @gregmunder.bsky.social 1/4

Definitely a sticky writing night. I managed just over 1200 words, but I need to do some thinking about how I'm going to get from Point A to Point B in Act III to hopefully make things flow better. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #fantasy

1323 words on the page tonight. Finished the first scene of the new chapter. I should finish it off tomorrow. I also got bass time and working out accomplished.. Now to go through the latest agent email to add to my spreadsheet. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #fantasy

Even though I know there's no reason for it, I always have a bout of anxiety when an editor returns comments. So first part of writing will be addressing said notes.

New blog post up at my website about the current status of things in the writing world for me. dchauser.com/2025/06/09/b...

1633 words. Tonight also hit a milestone as I'm now north of 100K words and closed Act II. I would have liked to have gone to hear @delilahsdawson.bsky.social speak tonight, but I needed to get words on paper. Onward and upward. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #fantasy
