My mind is always full. That’s a blessing and a curse. The problem is that it fills faster than I can empty it, and I can’t do everything I wish I could. Time isn’t my enemy, I am. #life

I should check the solar flares… (Seriously).

Death isn’t something to fear. It’s something to accept. So is life. #zen #tao #life #success

If you are going to #mdc3con I want to meet you, even if you’re not a writer. I promise not to quote any Monty Python to taunt you. And as they say, “No purchase required.” @mdc3con @ascamacho #writing

“Donny ‘The Semblance’’ Trough”, a mob boss looking for an identity. #writing #throwawayline

Plan for this eve: transcribe more of my WIP play games ham radio

What if the US govt trained real seals… oh, right… #writing

I’m looking forward to being on these, given my Prohibition era noir/thriller. I hope I can contribute something… #writing @mdc3con #mdc3con

This WIP has humor. It has character. It has mystery. It has action. It has milieu. It feels over-loaded. #writing

I’m having a decent day despite not having accomplished much. Sometimes, you have to enjoy not doing anything. Life isn’t just about accomplishing. Life is about experiencing and living. #life #success

Things I’d like to do in 2022: finally go to Italy finally go to Japan(for more than just a layover) go to an iOS conference publish a few more books go back to Ireland/Denmark/Germany Etc. I won’t hold my breath (or maybe I should) … #life #travel #conference

“You only live once. You only die once. You should love all the time.” #writing #life

I hate #covid because my sense of humor has suffered–or maybe others’ response to it. #life #humor

I should eat burgers, Meat with lots of condiments, Salads are healthy. #haiku #food #writing

I really should do a read-through of my posts before I hit send to catch autocorrect subverting my posts/humor…

“Remember when you were small and your father killed the milk man? That’s why they don’t deliver milk now.” #writing #throwawayline

Hm. I’m using a @raspberrypi as my git-server / NAS on an SSD. I’m sure it could run mirrored. I should search online… Pushing to multiple gits is for gits. I don’t want to be one… #nas #faulttolerance

I still need to ink up a backup pen for #mdc3con I’ll do that later. I have the Kaweco inked up as my primary. #fountainpen

It’s like the Swipe. For the price a smooth-writer and huge ink capacity. #fountainpen @gouletpens @twosbi

How do police deal with “strong-arm” robberies when they are the “strrong-arm” of the law? Rhetorical/non-question.

Five pages written, mostly “ambience”, and scene setting. I’m trying to do more since my books tend to be dialogue-heavy. Aphantasia makes it difficult to focus on non-dialogue. #writing #location

Maybe I should read “Bridgette Jones Diary”. Apparently, the book is better than the movie… #books

My problem is I want to do stuff. My other problem is I rarely do it well.

Creatures, Crime, and Creativity will probably be the high point of 2021 for me since I’m not going to any other conferences this year., or traveling. I’d really like to go to an in-live #ios event, or a writer’s retreat. Oh well. It’s not going to happen. #covid #writing
