PSA: “Deadeye” is an acceptable name for either a pirate or a cowboy. Make sure, however, that one eye is literally dead. #writing

“My mud-soaked shoes was all I had to show for a day of fishing with my dad. Laughing, he’d pushed me out of the boat, saying, ‘That’s what you get for disrespectin’. Walk home, if you know where it is.’” #writing #throwawayline

“Be the evil everyone aspires to be when watching Star Wars.” #writing #throwawayline

OK. I deserve some food. I’m plowing through the proofing/edits. #writing

“At the age of twelve, he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. His destiny was to become a horror; the kind he saw in movies his parents didn’t let him watch.” #writing

You don’t have to be honest to tell the truth, but you have to tell the truth to be honest. #life

I’m editing today. I’ve been procrastinating pushing this noir out. I don’t feel it’s good enough (or as good as it could be). I’m sure it’s just my insecurities popping up. I won’t let myself stand in my own way and will get this book out ASAP! #writing #editing

Happy The Day of the Gong (Not a Chuck Barris Production)

Good morning. There is joy all around you. You just have to see to find it. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Everyone has flaws in their character. The biggest flaw is in denying you have them. #life

Time to switch it up: Lamy AL-Star Azure (M) w/Monteverde Azure Noir #fountainpen @gouletpens

Plan for this week: get the noir out. that is all

Most people know of Steely Dan, few know of Steeleye Span, a much better band. Flame on! #music

People don’t use the word “whilst” often enough.

“One day you will cease to be. Everything you have done will be lost to time. Be humble. Know your place. That’s not a bad thing.” #writing

“I have a bull with your name on it.” #writing #throwawayline

Grilled steak and potatoes consumed. That’s my meal for three or four days, I think.

OK. I got async/await working using .task. That solved having to propagate async/await up the call chain. I wish the app was async by default and pushed it all the way down. #Swift #SwiftUI #wwdc

“Some day love will find you.” “It did once. Then it lost me again.” #writing #throwawayline

Happy Hike With a Geek Day

I should go outside today.

Good morning world. Remind me why I’m here again? Time for the ceremonial coffee.

In the long run, your behavior is more important than your goals. #life #success
