“Reading” an audiobook is Iike “smelling” a light. It may be possible, but I wouldn’t call it either reading or smelling. You listen to audiobooks, you see light. Or maybe perceive. Flame on! Yes, I’m being pedantic and literal. Heh.

Yes, I’m in a weird randomly entropic mood. I have a book to finish writing, and I’m dumping non-related thoughts so I can focus on what matters. Doing a mind-dump helps focus, as long as you dump properly. #writing #focus

Did you receive a book during the holidays? Do you already own a copy or hate it? Donate it to your local library, or to someone who might enjoy it. #books #reading #library

“You have to experiment in life in order to learn what you are capable of. Unless, of course, your experiments kill you.” #writing

“He collected chickens the way some people collected stamps and coins or the way Death collected souls. He was always a step ahead of Death.” #writing

“She wore her nobility on her head and finger. Everything else about her was crass and debaucherous. Royalty has its privileges and she was royalty with a capital R and small t around four o’clock.” #writing #character

“You have to struggle in life, because you hate dying.” #writing

“Did you ever look in the mirror and wish you looked like Colonel Sanders because you loved chicken? I did. But I hate chicken.” #writing #throwawayline

“Her nostrils exuded a liquid not unlike gelatin which hadn’t set. If anyone were brave enough to taste it, which she did, they would have found it to be more disgusting than lime-flavored gelatin. This made her cry, which just produced more of the substance.” #writing #character #throwawayline

Everyone has a bad day. Everyday is a bad day. What you do with it, and how you approach it determines your happiness. #life #success

“Each year winds down like an old-timey clock that needs winding. Each year, politicians and stress wind it back up.” #writing #time

“He was a small man. He was lacking in stature, wisdom, honor, honesty, kindness, and manhood. His bravado was the biggest part of him, but that was still as small as he was.” #writing #character

Plan for 2025: — be more patient with myself. I tend to expect too much of myself. #life #success

I’m in the middle of this book’s climax. There are some twists and turns that I need to reveal. But I still don’t have a clear picture of how the book ends. Metaphorically speaking, since I have aphantasia and can’t picture anything. #writing #wip #pulp

Time for wings and free-writing.

“The well-motivated murderer, rarely gives up.” #writing

Happy Still Need To Do Day Yes, it’s a thing.

I’ve written 1500 words in the past hour. I think I’ll take a break and do some free-writing at lunch. Then get back to the WIP this afternoon. I want another 1K words. #writing #pulp

If you received a new ereader (or even a hand-me-down one) and want to fill it up with books, may I suggest some of mine? auteureist.com #books #ereader

Plan to procrastinate in 2025.

Today, reward yourself for almost making it through 2024.

“When in doubt, run.” #writing
