“You cannot own the world, another, or even ideas, but you can work to own yourself.” #writing #life

It’s time to relax.

It’s been 2 weeks since my 2nd COVID shot. I went out and celebrating by eating chili and writing.

“We are the past We are the present We are the future. Be the best.” #life #writing

Just because you are older than someone doesn’t mean you know more than they do. #life #failure

I think I’ll schedule 3 days of boredom.

I need to start thinking about a blurb for my noir. Writing blurbs for your own work is like someone asking you, “Why would anyone want to date you?” #writing #books #blurb

If you’re scared you worry. Just worry. That’s half the problem and improves your chances of success. #life #success

I’ve cut the FileWrapper size in half and the app doesn’t crash now. It’s not the best structure, but it is simpler and works (so far). I still need to migrate a bunch of other data, but I’m getting further. #ios #swift #iPadOS #writing

When I started writing, one of the mistakes I made was to focus on the “trick ending”. I quickly learned no one liked what I wrote. #writing #motivation

Still playing around with the #UI of my writing app; simplified it. #writing #iPadOS.

Time to plan and write. #writing

“Things I Learned - 04/18/2021” visualnewt.com/learned/

Good morning. We’re back to Monday. It’s Groundhog Day all over again. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I feel I should bake something tomorrow, but I have some hard seltzer fermenting that I have to deal with.

Salad consumed.

Spent most of the day on #ios stuff. I need to relax.

I’m also toying with the idea of splitting my writing app into multiple apps based on function… #ios #writing

With my goal to attempt to write more impactful scenes, I’ve started annotating each beat with each character’s emotional response. It’s a start to help me focus on the emotionality of each beat. #writing #planning

I’m doing more planning for the soap opera. I just realized I don’t need to make my 3rd tier character my protagonist because she is more interesting, I just need to make my protagonist more interesting than her. #writing #planning

Anyone having fun today?

Happy National Bat Appreciation Day.
