Writing is hard work. It’s not just sitting and thinking about stuff. It’s about sitting, thinking about stuff, and occasionally scribbling something. #writing

Work hard. But make sure you’re not working just to work. Work is a process, not a goal. #life

The Omas ran dry while I was free-writing just now. #fountainpen

A family of turtles sunning themselves by the pond this morning.

OK. I returned the bike. The replacement should be in in about 2-3 weeks.

There is a cost to everything you do. Everything has consequences. Few consider them. #life #failure

Remember to back up your work. This includes code, scripts, configs, writing, edits, family, and friends.

Good morning all. Play nice. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Be the kind of person that you can be.

I’m looking forward to warm weather the rest of the week. #netde

“The pond is still in the cool air. Geese nest as the ducks peck at weeds along the banks. A heron stands statue-like waiting to pounce. The tan light of the setting sun mottles through the greening trees. I hear a hawk in the distance. Spring is here. I am at peace. #writing

Yup. It’s official. I’m in a mood.

Comedy is an advertisement where an actor playing a doctor tells you “his patients” love the drug/product so that you will ask for it and waste your money. #life #humor #failure #pharmaceutical

Comedy is all about laughing at your own pain, not someone else’s. #humor #comedy #life

When I was young, my parents fed me. I grew up and learned the truth.

It’s difficult being funny when the world around you is insane.

Just because you have a sense of humor doesn’t mean you’re funny.

My parents let me go out and play in the street. They knew that if the traffic didn’t get me the sniper rifle would.

I like how this latest book is coming together. It needs two more editing passes. It’s not a great book; it’s an acceptable book. It’s better than the previous book. For me, that’s a win. #writing #thriller

Just keep going. You may not end up where you want to go, but you’ll at least finish. #life #success

Today has been semi-productive with things I wouldn’t like to have happened. But I’m OK with that.

Most have wishes and hopes. Some have goals and accomplishments. #life

I vote we bring back withershins into everyday conversation. #writing

“Tequila kills.” He points at the bottle of clear liquid. “Why don’t you mind your own business?”, the despondent man replies, then takes another shot. The bottle smashes onto his head before he can react. The tall stranger saunters out of the bar, his job done. #writing

“Tears left tracks running down her face like horses racing to the finish line.” #writing
