Overheard (this from a manager): “We agree to disagree…” What he wants to say is, “F*, this! We do it my way.” (I’ve missed listening to “people”.) #business #failure #writing #character

People who hate the ones they work with are all against going back to the office. The ones they work with are, of course, to blame. Common sense & probability (which should be a book title.) .~ #business

OK. I’ve booked a couple of days to come up with my next writing idea. #writing

There should be a /fan/club site that isn’t hosted on Facebookery. #failure #entrepreneur

People still say, “It is what it is,” here in the “States”. I would have thought after the last debacle, we would have learned to say, “It isn’t what it isn’t.” #tautology #logic

Yes, my mind works in mysterious ways. That’s why I meditate.

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
