This week I used a physical map to navigate a no-signal area. Turns out the hardest part is playing where's waldo looking for my destination.

Found a new book title. Thanks to the many people I texted for completing my unsolicited survey. #SelfPub #Writing #Publishing

Ugh. Im trying to find a new book title and the 6 people surveyed ended in a 3-3 split. I hate making big decisions.

It really hurts to rename a book for marketing purposes. Goodbye artistic and evocative title, we need something 'punchy'. #Writing #Publishing #SelfPub

Reading before writing is definitely the secret to priming your brain to churn out pages. #WritersTips

Eight mosquito bites formed one big bitemark on the back of my arm. Maybe one of those mosquitos is an artist?

Nothing like neutraling down a mountain to avoid running out of gas

I'm really impressed by my phone's ability to fall directly onto my shoe and fly off across the room

Gonna see a sheep herding competition tomorrow. Hopefully it'll refill my political metaphor reservoir.

Is there irony in watching Friendship alone in a toally empty theater? No. Tim Robinson is the only friend I need. #Friendship #Movies

Blue Prince had me spiralling down into a world of puzzles. Once Roman Numerals got involved I had to bail. #Puzzle #BluePrince

Woke up to my cat punching a hole through my window screen. At least it was a friendly break-in.

Im awash in a world of trim sizes, back cover blurbs, and layout options with no clue what Im doing. Is this what publishing is always like?

Im happy to spend hours editing, but a few minutes formatting and exporting drives me up the wall. Maybe its all the clicking through menus. #Editing #Scrivener #WritersLife

12k words edited. Kinda thinking about going in for round two. I may need a convo with my optometrist after this week. #Editing

I feel like Murderbot and Mickey 17 have very similar vibes. Stylized storytelling from an outsider character that gives standard scifi a brand-new feel. #Reading #BookSky #Books

Desperately rushing through a 4th draft of my book, nobody tell my copy-editor. #Writing #WritersLife

Got a new pile of books to read, only half of them are homework for book club. #Reading

I caught myself saying a true-ism today. "Wow, the better I get the easier it gets!" What a nugget of wisdom

Can I edit 90k words for mistakes in one day? Yes. Should I? Depends on the deadline. #Writerslife #Editing

I put up a new 'Countdown to Completed Book' tracker on my wall. Now whenever I hit my writing goal I cross off a number. Its like an advent calendar for book writing!

Every once in while we find ourselves in the audience of something both extraordinary and real. This is my account. logansidwell.com/2025/05/05/m... #TrueStory

Finished Turn of the 🗝 Its always a worthwhile read when a book's biggest emotional wollup hits you a day after the story is through. #BookSky #TurnOfTheKey #Reading

I love a day filled with hard truths, it makes it that much easier to reach your goals.

Travle log: Car plane train bus car. Maybe next time Ill just walk.

2 hours on a bus! Im looking forward to putting a book on my lap, then sleeping through the whole journey.

In my first ever Discovery Writing session I made a major breakthrough: Im an Outliner #Writing #WritingCommunity #DiscoveryWriting

Turns out fireworks going off a couple hundred feet from me on a random April day with no warning is kinda scary.

Found a dried splatter of paint on the sidewalk today. Foot steps went off in one direction and cart tracks in the other. This is not fiction, someone working in construction just had a bad day. #Writing #Walking #Accident

Ever think wayyy too much about a scene, write it, then go "Oh, thats how I would have written it a week ago" #Writing #WritersLife

Oh no. I caught myself networking today. This isnt what I signed up for when I started writing!

I bragged about my blender yesterday. I broke it this morning. Somehow I feel I deserve this.

Ive been reading too many epics layely. Today I picked up a 350-page book and thought, "Oh, this'll be quick!" #Books #Reading

Started a second book project today. This is the one Im not overthinking. Let my brain work hard on the other idea, Good vibes writing only here. #Writing #AmWriting #Novel

50 years in, few games have risen above the medium and entered the realm of art. But could there be a day games become literary? youtu.be/iW_F3IeFNls #Gaming #PapersPlease #Spiritfarer

Finished reading The ⭕️! I'd quit social media, if only it weren't so darn engaging. #Reading #TheCircle

It's a good book that gets me riled up during the part where you're supposed to get riled up.

I think I had a lovely bike ride today, but my legs have expressed some dissent.

Theres no better way to avoid writing than to surround yourself with writers. #Writing #WritersLife

New rule: If Im pacing thinking about an idea, I should write it down there and then.
