“The probability we are living in a simulation grows the deeper in the simulation we are that conceives they are living in a simulation. Recursion is a bitch.” #life #zen #tao #Reality

“There is no truth. There is no reality. There are facts and there is Reality, which are one and the same. Reality changes from moment to moment. What you think of as reality is fixed; Reality is everchanging, therefore it is fixed.” #life #zen #tao #success

I need to discover my next writing project. I’ve tossed out my soap opera idea as untenable. As a writer, I’m not like George RR or @JonathanMaberry. I have to dig, scratch, and shed blood for a new idea. I’m full of ideas, few are worthy of a book. #writing

I should bake something this week… even though it is summer.

Overheard “Do you want a different bag?” Me thinks: “No, this wife is fine.” author problems #writing #humor

Apparently, dragons roamed the state of Delaware in olden times. That would explain why the most popular tattoo here is that of a dragon. Or everyone escaping Drexel U came here. #netde

What if: Apple AirPods were capable of working as stand-alone iPods… Make it so. #apple #airpod @tim_cook #music

I’m still coin-flipping to decice who to publish with. I want to get away from the current company. They charge an arm/leg to readers. #writing #publishing

I’ve narrowed down the cover image to one of two. I want to overlay the title text to see how they “play”. #writing #publishing

“The lens through which you view life is cloudy.” #writing

I don’t put blurbs on the front cover of my books. I don’t even put tag lines. The point of the cover is the title and the art, and my titles tend to be simple and straight-forward. #publishing #writing

Overheard: “How do you do it wrong?” This says something about the person asking. #writing #character

“All the OGs hang out at OG.” #writing

“He whipped up 3 blurbs for the back of his noir. Each was better than the last–except the first, one which was awful. Don’t read that one. A thrill-ride of words with no real point. Never to be made into a movie, but should be, because the money is better. This books is great!!!!!! Or would be if …

Back in my day, this was funny: “Euell Gibbons died of natural causes.” If you get it, you get it, and are old. #humor

I hate writing blurbs. I hate editing blurbs more. #writing #publishing

“We had to put our father down.” “That’s awful!” “Not really. He started biting strangers.” #writing #throwawayline

Time for lunch and some free-writing. I need to write a blurb, as well.

Lots of code refactoring/simplification this morning. It’s time to switch back into editing my noir. #SwiftUI #writing

Happy Typewriter Day
