I should really book a room for #Bouchercon.

“Sometimes shooting the messenger is the right thing to do because they made up their own message.” #writing

When someone says, “I’m honored”, it usually means they are either surprised, and have no idea what to say, or they expected it and are just pandering. Honor requires no response.

I’m in a mind-dump mood.

Always blow your own whistle. The spit of others causes disease.

What is important now was not important before. It will likewise be unimportant in the future. #life

“The Jedi Who Would Not Die” coming to Disney. #starwars

I hate emails that say, “Tell us what you think.” That’s what I think. #email #spam

“He couldn’t bear fingers covered in buffalo wing sauce. That’s why he only ate buffalo wings ten times.” #writing #throwawayline

“Raise the Dead, Lower the Living” should be a title. Feel free to use it. #writing #prompt

The only monsters are the ones you create. #life

I miss having a writer’s critique group to go to.

“Who would you kill if you could get away with it? Who would you save if no one cared?” #writing

I wanted to write something light-hearted. It’s turned serious again. This short-story is good, I think… so far. #writing #mdc3con

What if your mom tells you dad jokes?

Sometimes you need to realize that you can’t work through something. The best thing to do then, is to work around it. #life #success

It’s time to work on the short story and eat while runnning errands.

Smile to make someone else smile. #life #success

Hm. Feels like the onset of a pressure headache. Weather is about to change…

“A bellow. A scream. A thud. Panting. The clang of metal on a hardwood floor.” #writing #flashfiction
