Good morning. Hang out in the trees, and relax. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

OK. I’m registered for @Bouchercon for next year. We’ll see if we make it. #writing #bouchercon

I wonder if I have enough oil to make doughnuts tomorrow.

Every step we take we take into the unknown. The future is a place of danger and wonderful exploration. The path I follow is forward, for to go back is to hide in the past. #life

Remember when giving “your word” meant something?

This past week I’ve encountered an Apple Maps car and a NOAA vessel. They are after me.

Lunch. The last fish and chips of the year #food

Plan for tomorrow: make enhanced apple cider doughnuts (or maybe fail)

If you can’t make people smile or laugh, you will make them cry. #life

The Wheel of Time series looks better than the books read. Flame on. #books #wot

At some point everyone you care about will be dead. #life

Overheard: “I’m nineteenish…” #writing #character

Reminder to self: “needs an upbeat ending.” #nanowrimo #writing

I just heard someone “cackle”. Draw your own conclusions.

Observed: She dressed like an Annie Hall wannabe. She had the complete get-up. It wasn’t even Halloween., but at least it fit her. #writing #character #throwawayline

The math says 5000 words per day for 15 days and about 2 scenes per day. It’s a challenge. #writing #nanowrimo

I’m trying to use my Field Notes notebooks. They are “passable” with fountain pens; better than Moleskines. #fountainpen @gouletpens @fieldnotes

Stand up if your watch has ever reminded you to stand up. cough<

I guess I need to do some research for the time period before I dive into #nanowrimo More rabbit holes… #writing

Hm. I just discovered a deficiency in my stocks app. I’ll work on that next week. #python

I have my time period: 1809-1849, and a character. #writing #nanowrimo

Time to switch it up. Platinum Preppy w/ cartridge. #fountainpen @gouletpens

Overheard: “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to agree with you.” #writing #character

I’m trying to come up with a time period in which to set my #nanowrimo novel. This is a difficult decision. I’m making a ton of notes trying to decide. #writing

I’m spending a bit of time jotting notes.
