“Stay up until midnight, so that you may curse the world and the new year for the failures to come.”

Mind dump complete. 74.31 gigaquads of memory freed.

“You don’t need a lawn to shake your fist and yell.” #writing

It’s interesting that everyone has a “Best ____ of the Year”. It’s all marketing. It’s all opinion. It’s all unimportant. #life #marketing #failure

Plan for 2025: — get remaining four ferals of The Gathering to the vet for spay/neutering. #feral #cat

I have about 1K words left to write to finish this book. Happy New Year! I’ll set it aside for some time, then edit it when I’m free of its hold on me. #writing #editing #nye #pulp

Plan for 2025: — more snark. I can’t afford a cowbell.

“Life is an empty room you fill with hopes and fears and old papers and cat fur. If you’re lucky you get a cat.” #writing #throwawayline

What did you buy in 2024 that made your life more enjoyable or better? Me: — SuperNote Manta — Boox Palma — lots of books

Happiness is inside you. Of course, it’s there along with pain, fear, horror, and all of the other emotions. What you focus on is what you gain. #life

“New friends sometimes turn into old friends that die.” #writing

Plan for 2025: — don’t get into another bike accident.

“His name was Justin Case. His parents had a sense of humor, or so they said. He had no talent, so he became a detective. He thought it would look good on his door when he hung out his shingle.” #writing #throwawayline

I’m enjoying writing my WIP. But I always think that when I write it. This set of characters could become recurring if I want to make a new series. But I doubt I will. #writing #pulp

So. If anyone I know on here makes glogg for the holidays, what’s your recipe? #food

It’s a personal problem. I always want to accomplish more than I am humanly capable of each new year. Things to do. Things not to do. Things to read. Things to write. Things to program. Things to cook. Things to bake. Things to learn. Things to achieve. Luckily, I’m not human. #life

Just overheard a couple celebrating their 25 years together, 20 married. Just paid for their beers. Small things. #life

In case anyone wonders, I use the Micro.blog API to scrape my posts by hashtag to extract my thoughts/ideas by topic.. It’s easier than doing text searches or plowing through handwritten journals/lists.That’s why I mind dump. #writing #idea

“Live in the now, not the sometime.” — ancient proverb I just made up.

Everyone focuses on the new at the start of a new year. It’s just as important to focus on the old: the successes, the failures, and the people. #nye #life #2025

It’s as important to know what you won’t do as what you will/want to do in the new year. That’s why I have a Do Not Do List to remind myself of the things to avoid in life. If you don’t write it down, you will forget or slip into doing those items you want to avoid. #todo #tasks #life

NYE Day: Thank you who follow, react, interact, or read my books. You are appreciated. I consider some of you friends, even though we have never met. I appreciate your thoughts and feedback. I hope I bring a smile or a weird thought to your life. I hope I encourage or motivate some of you. #nye

Be happy, despite whatever others tell you or talk about in 2025. You have a choice when it comes to doomscrollling.
