Happy Bison Tell-Yell Day Yes, it’s a thing.

I feel like learning something new. The question is, “what?”

Everyone worries about the tech “monopolies”. No one cares about Disney…

“Many artists swear fealty to the market.”

COBRA KAI vs GI JOE A karate student must seek revenge when his dojo is wiped out by the “Joes” and then discovers his dojo is a front for C.O.B.R.A., when he falls in love with a female “Joe”. Guilt vs honor vs loyalty #writing #pitmad

“If you’re not afraid of life, you shouldn’t be afraid of death. Life is a lot harder.” #writing

Wasn’t Apple supposed to release a plethora of things in September?

The MC is going along for the ride, after being told the correct path. He thinks he’ll do what he wants and prove the other characters wrong while pretending to follow directions. I’m not sure what I think of this. He needs more redeeming qualities. #writing #character

I’ve never seen anyone stretch and yawn the way they do on TV or on commercials. Totally fake. #marketing #failure #television

Overheard: “Take a pound of dried llama beans…” The guy following up on microwaves. #writing #character

Overheard: “I see a future where microwaves are possible. I popped some corn, and now I want one.” #writing #character

It hit me that my MC isn’t a likeable character. That’s not a requirement, but in this story, he needs to be. I need to do a better job of introducing him. I’ll have to add a chapter at the very beginning and rewrite some interactions once I’m done the draft. #writing #character

It’s a gorgeous late summer day. There is a nice amount of heat, and clear skies. I spent a bit of the day outside. It’s time to settle in/down and get some writing into the books. #writing

Why do I want to write a Yakuza story? I know nothing about them. #writing

“It’s a once in a lifetime event…” That happens every year now. #life

Good morning everyone. The sun is out and the sky is clear. May your mind be sunny and clear as well. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Life has no expansion packs.

It’s time to kick back.

Nowadays, doing your job is more important than helping people. #life #business #failure

A pine “cone” has more in common with a “pineapple” than a cone.

Days are never stressful. Your reaction to what is occurring causes stress in you. The same day is exhilarating and fun to someone else. Change your reaction to the day to change stress into something productive/better. #life #tao #success

I’ll be on the “Building Charasmatic Characters” panel at “Creatures, Crime, and Creativity”I have thoughts (unless I’m meditating.) If you’ve never been to it, you should go if you read, write, hope to do either. There is no requirement to go to see/meet me. #writing #mdc3con

Hating a group of people is like hating all spiders because one of them bit you once. Or because you’ve been told all your life that spiders are scary/dangerous. #life #failure

I’ve stopped writing for now before I dig the hole deeper than I can climb. #writing

I have a good/great story depending on which route I take. This feels to be the most complex book I’ve written. That’s probably not saying much, for me, but it’s a hurdle I have to write through. #writing #character
