Knock. Knock. You awake? Were you expecting a joke? Wake up. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Do not live in suffering—yours or others’. #life

Time to relax. I spent the day rereading, making notes, minor fixes. Sometimes, I surprise myself with what I manage to write. #writing #editing

Changed the screensaver on the Manta. “Out of Time” cover. #eink #supernote #book #cover

Greetings. Don’t take life seriously. It doesn’t take you seriously. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I spent the morning (re)learning XOJO. I ate lunch. I’m back to doing a reread of book 2 of “Coins of Destiny”. #editing

“I broke my guitar.” “Don’t fret.” #writing #throwawayline

Happy National English Toffee Day

Good morning, human icicles. Bundle up. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Time for some herbal tea.

What secret will you die to avoid learning?

“When in doubt, fill in the blanks.” #writing

Plan for tomorrow: — rewrite/editing — free writing — eating — house stuff — relaxing

There’s snow on the ground. It’s a good day for hot chocolate.

Time for a break. I’m doing a read-through, prior to rewrites and edits, of “To Preserve Power - Coins of Destiny 2” after a year away from it. It reads well. I forgot most of it. It’s different than “Coins of Destiny 1” in tone and theme. Good stuff. #writing #editing

Good morning, everyone. It’s a bitterly cold morning. It won’t get above freezing. At least the sun is out to scam you into thinking it’s warmer than it is. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Time for some tea.

Plan for tomorrow: — rewrites/edit “To Preserve Power” — house stuff — bake something else — read — relax

Time to relax. 9” of snow has fallen here and it’s not going to melt any time soon. I guess I’ll stay home again unless it does melt.

The baklava turned out great, taste wise. Should be great with morning coffee. #baking

Baklava done. A little messy, but it works. Made with bourbon glazed mixed nuts. #baking #food

Lettuce is taking off. Basil and tomatoes are coming along. #clickandgrow #hydroponics

Time for a break. I’ve been editing “To Preserve Power - Coins of Destiny 2”. The snow is still streaming down. We’re now at 5”.
