“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

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

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.

Happy National Stupid Guy Thing Day

Good morning. When was the last time you really listened to a bird’s song and not ignored it? Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I just spent a couple of hours trying to find a decent idea for a book cover. #writing #noir

Stupid question time: Is there a way to modify this menu in #SwiftUI? I’m assuming the answer is, “No.” Yes, I know I can do it using “representable”, that’s not what I want. #programming #iPadOS

It’s 2021 and the iPad still can’t do curly quotes… just straight quotes. “This is wrong!” #iPadOS #failure

Peanut butter and coffee go well together. I wonder if someone makes a peanut butter-flavored coffee.

Nibbage. #fountainpen

It’s time to call it a day.

If you can’t tell a story, you’ll never make your point #life #writing
