Happy Pocky Day

“You’re, more or less, already dead.”

Today is another day of writing. I’m still pushing for 75K by the 20th. #writing #nanowrimo

Good morning. Just because someone does something nice, it doesn’t mean they are trying to get something in return. Being kind is not a competition. I know too many people who try to “out do” me if I do something nice. Accept and enjoy. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I guess I’ll be updating the OS in my #raspberrypi [s] this weekend. It seems Debian Bullseye is out.

“Everyone loves the autumn and how the leaves change.” “Yes, but everyone hates the blood they leave.” #writing #throwawayline

I’m exhausted after today’s writing. It wasn’t all that difficult, but there were a lot of threads to juggle and a couple of scenes full of emotion-building. #writing #nanowrimo

…making a cup of rooibos chai tea. #tea

TIme to crash and burn. I’m at about 42K words. I think I need a soothing cup of tea. The story is cracking. I hope people can follow it. #writing #nanowrimo

Today’s writing soundtrack has been something I wouldn’t normally listen to, but I needed to get in the mood. #writing #nanowrimo

It’s break time again. I wrote an intense scene. As a first draft, I’m satisfied. It will need some polish during rewrites/edits. #writing #nanowrimo

Tomorrow will be just like today apart from, hopefully, no errands.

Gah! Turkey day approaches.

If you work on the moments, the years will take care of themselves. #life

Time for a long-ish break to run more errands.

“His was a girth both wide and large, so much so, he could not see his own underbelly.” #writing

Is “skulldiggery” the present tense of “skullduggery”? >cough<

Americans never learned to use forks. Flame on!

“What would you like to drink?” “Coke please?” The server returned with a glass filled mostly with glass and the syrupy liquid. He then proceeded to snort it. Little did he know he had committed a faux-pas. After all, he wasn’t from this solar system. #writing #throwawayline

“The Clotting” should be a horror thriller title. Feel free to use it. #writing #prompt

If you don’t have a sense of humor, no one will take you seriously. #life

I’ve never written an s.f. novel. I wrote an s.f. short story which John W. Campbell/Analog trashed, or so I believed when I was in my teens. It didn’t write anything for decades as a result. I think I’ve become a better writer and this will be a decent book. #writing #nanowrimo

This is not the story I set out to write. It’s better. #writing #nanowrimo
