J.R. Murdock

Little writing tonight, not much. This weekend was Hijo’s birthday so not a lot got done.

I’ve got big changes to overhaul the YouTube channel content as well as the blog content. I’ll cover all that in the 5 a day with Jay tomorrow. Let’s just say that I need to make better use of Social Media and where I’m dropping content. I think flooding content to a single location isn’t the best way to do this. We’ll see how the plan goes.

Tomorrow will be an early day. I’m also thinking about flipping around my personal schedule a little bit to help accommodate these changes. We’ll see how it all goes.

Until Next Time.

Stay Awesome!

Busy work day again. These things happen. Did my workout. Watched some Big Bang Theory while doing that. Had to run a couple of errands. Then the family settled down for a TV show.

We’re watching WandaVision. Have you seen it? If you follow my YouTube channel, you’ll see I’ve been doing Murdock Minute movie reviews of the MCU. If you’ve followed me at all, you know I’ve been big on comics since I was a kid. These times we live in are exciting not only to see comic movies come to life. Oh, no. It’s exciting because they’re being taken seriously. They’ve got excellent writing. And they’re good. Not like what I got when I was a kid.

I’m not talking about the classic Batman TV show. I’m talking about the movies they tried to make out of superheroes. There was no budget. This meant effects were awful and the plots so thin that even as a kid I couldn’t stand them. Even Kiss Versus the Phantom was better. Well, okay, not by much.

At any rate. Enjoyed some TV time with the family.

Yes, I did get a little writing done. I’ll get more done this weekend. It’s been a little hectic this week, but things will even out.

Until Next Time!

Stay Awesome!

Back to the writing today. Only got in 700 words. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m slowly working my way back up to speed. Still a busier than normal day which left me little time to write and record. It’s learning how to deal with distractions that will help me get faster with my writing. You know, taking advantage of those moments when I can write to sit and ACTUALLY write.

I’m also spending little moments reading when I’m doing things like waiting for a video to upload. This is helping me get through books. I have a goal to read 40 books in ’21 and write 4. Only way I’ll get that done is a little bit at a time.

Until Next Time!

Stay Awesome!

Hey Gang. No new words. No new 5-a-day with Jay. No Murdock Minute. Everything will resume tomorrow. Nothing major to report, just a busier than normal day and evening. Plus got up way too early and my brain needs rest.

Until Next Time!

Stay Awesome!

Yesterday I got an exercise bike. Today I put it to good use.

Also, yesterday, I cycled through the beginning of Giant Robot Planetary Competition 3. Then I added another 1000 words.

Much like exercising, getting back into writing isn’t going to happen instantly. Yes, I’d love to write 3000 or 5000 words a day as I’d done before, but hey, we’ll get there. Slowly. I don’t want to blow a gasket and derail my efforts.

Can’t wait to see where this book is going. Yes, I know how it’ll end, but it’s the middle that I’m not too sure on and it’ll be fun to let it happen.

Until Next Time!

Stay Awesome!

Hey! Writing happened today. Sort of. Did a reread of the first few thousand words. Cycled through. I’m up to 3800 words. Very excited with the start of this book and I’m eager to keep rolling with this book. Oh yes, good things are happening.

Next week I will likely begin with getting freshly edited content pushed out while I get the covers done for all the books I need to publish.

I got a bike and a recumbent exercise bike. Time to get my rump in gear and lose a few pounds.

So much is going on. Lots of it. I’m excited about 2021 and the direction it’s headed. Hope you are also

Until Next Time!

Stay Awesome!

Tomorrow I begin with doing 1000 words per day (minimum) for as long as I can. Books ain’t gonna write themselves. Yes, I will continue with the Murdock Minute reviews. We’re almost done with the MCU movies and can move on to more book reviews. I’m excited to drop a number of those before jumping to something else, like graphic novels and web comics.

I’m thinking about ramping things up with my TikTok channels. I dropped a simple time lapse video that got over 400 hits in a couple of days. I think it’d be good to drop some quick videos talking about my books and me. Something similar to 5 a day with Jay, but far shorter. We’ll see. Lots of things in motion.

The books I plan to write this year (at least) will be GRPC book 3, Almost-Super Heroes 3 and 4, and V&A Shipping 4. If I can squeeze out a 5th book, it’ll be GRPC book 4 which means the first books I’ll write next year will be the Military Sci Fi that will wrap up the 15 book arc of all those books. It’s exciting to think I’m that close.

Anyway, until next time!

Stay Awesome!
