Hm. Weird. Somehow, I have my posts going to Day One from micro.blog a while back, but I don’t see any settings or IFTT integration… #dayone #micro.blog
Good morning. Being gracious and kind goes a long way in this world. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
OK. I managed four hours of napping. I feel more human. Obviously, no writing today.
My Year In Books: — I found it cramped.
Back home. NYE at an emergency room is a circus/nightmare. Lots of trauma so the wait after triage was 5-6 hours. They found nothing wrong after running multiple tests multiple times. I’m supposed to follow up with my cardiologist. Today, I try to relax and catch up on a night without sleep.
Still in the ER. They are running tests. So far all negative. Happy New Year!
Fun NYE. Checked myself into the ER with a high heart rate.
Plan for tomorrow: — finish writing “The Cat and the Warlock” — cook some soup — read — play some games — relax
Time to relax now. Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone. Celebrate safely. Heartfelt thanks and good wishes to all.
I didn’t feel like writing today. But I hunkered down and wrote another 2.5K words. I have around 2K left to hit my 50K goal for this book. Tomorrow, I wrap it up. #writing #pulp
Natural fireworks here. Huge thunderstorm moving through.
Happy New Year to every getting hit with midnite this hour. youtu.be/glYQKJXwh… #music
Like puns, snark is rarely appreciated.
2025 is the year when not everyone gets a raise.
Books that are never read, are never reviewed. #books #reading #writing #publishing
