Hello. The thing to do now is what you are doing now, and not what you plan to do. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I’m tempted… #apple

Trust and respect are always linked. #life #success

Plan for tomorrow: finish editing. write blurb maybe iOS stuff if I have time. eat stuff.

Don’t confuse who you are with what you think. #life #zen #tao

Another day of editing complete. It’s time to relax.

Someone needs to explain what “Prime Days” are, apart from a marketing scheme for Amazon to make more money. #marketing #failure

If you’re a parent, and don’t accept advice from non-parents, remember that you have lost your objectivity. #life #failure

Their follow up question was, “Why do you write then?” If you know, you know. #writing

Just had a chat with someone who was surprised that most writer’s (I specifically) don’t make as much as George R.R. Martin… #writing #reality

Quitting is always acceptable, after you’ve done your best. There is no shame in failure, only in not trying. The secret is knowing when you’ve done your best. #life #success

“The snow fell around him, onto him, and into his soul. She was that cold. His heart, however, still held an ember struggling not to die.” #writing #throwawayline

“She wrote fiction of the science variety, not the crap that held dragons and fairies (with an extra ‘e’).” #writing #throwawayline #character #prompt
