Life is unnecessarily dangerous.

I need to stop trying to do too many things, and trying to be productive all the time. I feel my stress levels rising. I want to focus on a couple of things and regain some balance. #life

Good morning world. It’s time for a reset. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I wear my sunglasses at night…

I like helping people because I make them feel better and I’m not a douche.

“She wore the mask over her eyes because she refused to see the pandemic was real. She was run over by a bus.” #writing #throwawayline

I’m making slow but good progress on the new book. I’m having fun writing it, even though I’m still in the early bits of the story. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I overthink it, I make it boring. I like some structure, but I hate a straight jacket. #writing #creativity

“Without telling me your age, how many people have you killed?”

Wings consumed. I feel almost human. (Not a good thing.)

“In the late days of the pandemic people came back to the office to die.” #writing #throwawayline

Behind many a good story is someone too afraid to write it. #writing

“I’m never alone. I have my memories to support, but most of them hate me.” #writing #throwawayline

“Crimes aren’t crimes if everyone commits them. Take his head.” #writing #throwawayline

I like technology. I like toys. Therefore, technology = toys. #life

I think I want some wings for lunch.

I’m still in the early pages of this new book, and already my MC is about to “fly-off-the-handle” after discovering someone he looked up to has been killed. I need to think about how to best portray this. #writing #character

People tend to: react instinctively think evaluate In that order. Your characters should as well. #writing #character

Happy National Coloring Book Day Pull out your National coloring books.

Never regret what you have done, apart from hurting other. That is worthy of your regret and amends. #life #success

Wow the morning went fast. Time to eat and write.

Good morning. We’ve hit Monday again. Be grateful you’re here to enjoy it, such as it may be. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
