It’s so cold that it’s a good soup and sandwich day.

Seeds are always a root cause.

Greetings. It’s a holiday week. Enjoy. Be grateful. Stay healthy and safe. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Tomorrow is a Monday that you can treat as a weekend extension.

Plan for tomorrow: — write — pack — relax

Phew. Another 2K today. It’s time for a break. #writing

Darkness wraps you in a shroud. So does light. Which depends on whether you believe Darth Vader was the good guy. Redemption isn’t saving your son after the killing of many.

Things I want in 2025: — Switch 2 — Publishing two new books — Getting comfortable enough with XOJO to create something useful. — Take some day trips — Get the remaining ferals to the vet for spay/neutering — Peace and kindness in the world All are achievable. But not everyone wants the last one.

Criticism without being constructive is just an insult.

I find it interesting how much my readers get invested in my characters. I’m sure many authors are invested in their characters. For me, they are just characters. I try to make them real, but I don’t suspend belief when writing or reading them. #writing #character

Wings or salad… wings or salad… wings or salad? Life is full of life-altering decisions.

Don’t forget you can goof off all this week since there are multiple holidays within it.

People tend to get sick around the holidays because they relax and all the stress and pent-up problems are released. #life

Sold a copy of “To Preserve Health” to the couple. So, you never know. #writing

Overheard: A married(?) couple. The male “You can order whatever you want.” This at a wings place. Either the guy is cheap or controlling. #writing #life #character #failure

Another 800 words. It’s time to eat some wings. #writing

600 words so far this morning. A goodly start. #writing

17ºF ? Yup. It’s winter sans snow.

Who thought that “trends” was a good idea? Oh right, people who want to sell you stuff. #marketing #failure
