Best e-reader app on iOS: Yomu. Best eInk e-reader: the Kobo series. #books #ereader

I’ve been extremely lucky to become an expert during my business career and then pivot to publish 10 books so far. It hasn’t always been an easy journey, but there are worse ways to live. #life

Back in my day we only programmed in Algol. #programming

Wow! Jody Lynn Nye is going to be at C3 this year and someone whose work I like. Of course, I’ll be there as well and I like my work. But I’m biased. creaturescrimesandcreativity.com/2025-auth… #mdc3con #author #conference

I wish there was a way to strip Amazon’s book DRM scheme so I could move my books over to Kobo, etc. #amazon #failure #books #reading

Do people still write farces? If so, have you read any good ones? #book #reading #farce

Back in my day we had printers where you had to hit a matrix of keys to get letters to come up on the paper. We called those devices typewriters.

If you could, what would you want to learn or learn how to do? I’d love to learn to play an instrument or draw, but I incapable of either. I’d like to learn to be conversationally fluent in Japanese, but that won’t happen, although I’m working on it.

I’m beginning to throw around concepts for the cover design of my pulp novel, “The Cat and the Warlock”, which I’ll start editing once I’m done with “To Wield Power: Coins of Destiny 2” #writing #editing #design #publishing

Unlike yesterday, I think I’ll eat something today.

In case you’re wondering, executive orders aren’t laws and can’t rescind or override laws.

Sour cream and cheddar scones out of the oven. #baking

Maybe I’ll bake scones this weekend.

Everyone needs escapism, but many escape to never return. #life #failure

You can stop doomscrolling. Just assume everything is worse than what you imagined it to be. This is, after all, what most people here want.~

It’s time for some tea.

Phew! I’m exhausted. Finished the final editing pass through “To Wield Power: Coins of Destiny 2”. I’ll take the weekend off, and then do a final readthrough and formatting pass next week. #writing #editing

Cool! The cover of “To Preserve Health: Coins of Destiny 1” was used in a promotion, by BookBaby auteureist.com/CoD/COD-1… #publishing #books #cover

I wonder if I should eat something today.

It’s time for a break from the editing slog.

Arrogance is not a measure of willpower. #life #failure
