100 Words 012

Writing is hard! Sure, knocking out 100 words here and there about some topic is relatively easy, but I mean really writing.

Over the weekend I wrote a 3000+ word article for a publication that I’ll be able to announce later this summer. It took me the better part of a working day to do it. Here’s why.

It’s not just, “write.” I need to outline, make sure  the flow works, research, write, find images, test code (if needed), proofread, check word count, proof again.

I want to make sure the article is done well, and done right. Luckily, there are editors 🙂

    It’s been about 1 month (34 days) since I’ve been using an automated saving service called Digit, and I’ve really been digging it. I’ve saved around $360 without realizing or missing it, and I keep really good track of my finances. The way it works is you connect a bank account, it spends a couple of…

  • The Phil Cuzzi Show

    Max Scherzer was ejected from the 4th inning after Phil Cuzzi decided the legal substance he was using was too sticky. Is anyone actually surprised Phil Cuzzi made this about Phil Cuzzi? Now that pitcher checks are becoming more common again, the “look at me” umps must be so excited.

    Being sick sucks. After the very, very busy summer I had I suppose it was bound to happen. I came back from a 10 day trip to FL/CA in which very little sleep occurred, got a root canal, then went out for another sleep-deprived weekend that included a 21 hour day (a great day, by the…
