Weekly Accountability Post

For Monday, June 8, 2026

Two of the most powerful drivers of productivity are peer pressure and accountability. These Weekly Accountability Posts give you both. Take advantage!

I show up every week here to share what I got done in the past week, and I encourage you to do the same.

Novel(s)

Cracked the story and tone for one of my novels in progress (Nothing Civil About It), wrote a bunch of outline notes, scrapped the chapters I’d written previously, and wrote a preface. All of that, messy as it is, is below. No new writing on my other novel.

Screenplays

Put my penname screenplay on hold and focused on rewriting the Patrick Stoodle’s Completely Awesome Army of Killer Robots screenplay and got 30 or 40 pages in. As many pages as I can fit are below (which is 10, it turns out).

Also signed up for a bunch of screenplay feedback groups to get more eyes on my scripts. Storypeer and Scripthive (via Discord) are the best I’ve found so far. Thanks to Brandi (subscriber) for the Storypeer recommendation.

App

My Comedy Genius app continues to bury me in technology, but I made big strides this week, working on it almost every day. Switched some of the tools I’m using. I’m learning a lot about making apps, and now I want to make more apps after this one, god help me.

Business

I had a few FunnyCon-related meetings, meetings with David Uribe about an effort we’re partnering on, a fun Writers Room meeting this weekend, and a couple of coaching sessions during the week.

Nonsense

Lost a day to a family obligation, which included some hours of driving. I rarely show up to family functions. My family understands that I don’t like to leave my house, and they forgive my years-long absences.

Don’t forget to report on what you got done this week! That’s the only way the productivity magic works.
