Most people confuse success with improvement. Success is a goal you can never reach–you can reach satisfaction, however. Improvement is the journey you can revel in. #life #zen #success

Nowadays game developers need to deal with art and illustration. If you aren’t visual, you can’t make a good game. Back in my day, we just had text.~ Flame on! #gamedev #programming

I haven’t baked a cheesecake in years. I should. Maybe this winter… #baking

“When Death stares you in the face, smile. You’ve made a new friend.” #writing

Humor isn’t about making everyone laugh. Humor is about exposing truths. Not all comedy is humorous. I don’t do comedy. #writing #humor @ascamacho

“Wait-person: Do you want a box?” “No I want to wrestle.” Yes, I have a weird sense of hummus… #writing #character

“What are you?” “I’m not a what, I’m a who.” “Who are you?” “I’m not you.” “You are other.” “I am all.” #writing #throwawayline

“The surf crashed over the naked body, lapping and licking it like a lover. The warm orange sun sank under the horizon adding a shimmer to the skin. The red tide grew toward the shore. The body bobbed up and down to the rhythm of the waves.” #writing

“Then God spake, ‘Did you expense and itemize your life? You don’t expect me to do everything, do you? Down you go.’” #writing

I still haven’t found a useful/immediate way of keeping track of all my ideas. Apps are slow. Wikis are flexible/slow. Notebooks are unorganized/overkill. #life #creativity

Life is a TikTok that starts when you are born, and ends when you die, but time goes on. Anyone remember MySpace? #life #time

Another word for “discount” is “dismiss”. #marketing #failure

“She texted me.” “In public?” #writing #throwawayline

Some days, I feel I could do this for a living. Then, I remember, I hate marketing. Keep your day job (if you love it). Keep your passion. The twain need not meet. #writing #life #success

I have two major characters. They both have flaws. I need to force them together and have them fall in love (they are drawn to each other). This isn’t a romance novel, however. Usually, one has to die. We shall see where this goes… #writing #character

One way I know I have a good story is when I have two or three questions for every sentence I write. If I have questions, the readers will be interested (probably). Answering those questions will be the hard part. #writing #amwriting

“We all resemble what we have become.” #writing #throwawayline #life

Oh well, I’d set out to write something funny/humorous this time, but my characters are pulling me into a darker place. But I want to write numerous stuff again…. Maybe next time. #writing #character

Time to switch gears, and do some work on the novel. #writing
