Plan for tomorrow: — ibid today — write — eat

Phew! 2600 words written today. #writing #pulp

Ugh. Jimmy Carter dies at 100. Another sane person lost. RIP. #2024

I find it better to stalk through a dungeon than crawl through it.

It got to 70ºF in Dover DE today. It’s been weird weather-wise. Global warming or alien terraforming? It doesn’t matter since I won’t be around.

If you’re pushed to the limit you, by definition, can go no further. Stop trying.

Calling someone a “talented comedian” is like calling me a “talented humorist”.. What’s an untalented comedian? A failure. Teaching humor is like teaching someone to be honest. You either are or aren’t. Some people are good at faking it. #life #humor #talent

Repeat after me: I will never write a prequel. Prequels should’ve been written first. And usually, they are bad and a way for someone to try to make money. You’re better off trying to sell a film adaptation. Flame on! #writing

What is your greatest weakness? I’m an introvert. Yes, I know… I’ve learned to deal with it. #life

Food arrived. Gratuitous food pic. #food

If you’re an author, do you sell signed books? Does it help your sales? Do you know or just guessing? Do you charge extra? #publishing #books #writing

I’ve switched gears and bypassed the wings cutoff to merge onto a burger.

I’ve noticed writing.on the SuperNote feels close to writing with a fountain pen on Leuchtturm paper. I use the Lamy stylus (with button). Sometimes, I even forget I have something in my hand, except when I need to use the button on the pen. Loving the Manta. #fountainpen #supernote #lamy #eink

My WIP is as close as I’ve gotten to a cozy mystery. Of course I’ve never ever gotten near a mystery, cozy or otherwise. Maybe that’s why. #writing

What do you want to accomplish in 2025? Are you making time for fun, leaisure, and accounting for failure and pain? Are you including time to learn something new or to improve your life or the lives of others? Share your plans. Inspire others. #life #2025

Fountain pen just ran out of ink. Switching over to the Manta. I’ll fill up the next pen in rotation once I get home later. #writing #fountainpen #supernote

“The Knight Who Slept During The Day” Seems like a good title for a book about a gallant knight vampire. #writing

“Reading” an audiobook is Iike “smelling” a light. It may be possible, but I wouldn’t call it either reading or smelling. You listen to audiobooks, you see light. Or maybe perceive. Flame on! Yes, I’m being pedantic and literal. Heh.

Yes, I’m in a weird randomly entropic mood. I have a book to finish writing, and I’m dumping non-related thoughts so I can focus on what matters. Doing a mind-dump helps focus, as long as you dump properly. #writing #focus

Did you receive a book during the holidays? Do you already own a copy or hate it? Donate it to your local library, or to someone who might enjoy it. #books #reading #library

“You have to experiment in life in order to learn what you are capable of. Unless, of course, your experiments kill you.” #writing

“He collected chickens the way some people collected stamps and coins or the way Death collected souls. He was always a step ahead of Death.” #writing

“She wore her nobility on her head and finger. Everything else about her was crass and debaucherous. Royalty has its privileges and she was royalty with a capital R and small t around four o’clock.” #writing #character

“You have to struggle in life, because you hate dying.” #writing

“Did you ever look in the mirror and wish you looked like Colonel Sanders because you loved chicken? I did. But I hate chicken.” #writing #throwawayline
