Don’t allow your anxiety, stress, and frustration bubble into anger. Step back. It’s OK. Reality doesn’t have to match your expectations. Take a deep breath. Seek help if you feel you are losing. #life #success

What would you like to experience in the next year?

I hate writing my bio and back-book blurbs. I think I’ll just use the same bio. I need a Jefferey Deever or a Lee Child endorsement/blurb. Heh. Not gonna happen. Maybe I can get Deever to read one of my books when I see him next month. #writing #publishing

Now that the Apple Books app is pretty much officially dead, I’m glad I discovered Yomu and the Palma for ebooks. I just wish Apple would release all the books I’ve purchased without DRM, so I can continue to read them without the Apple Books app. Not gonna happen. #apple #books #ereader #failure

It’s time to venture out and get some lunch, before the heat becomes overly–uh, hot.

Hm. Apple lays off Books staff. Given the state of the app, I’m not surprised. #apple #books

Good morning, everyone. Sit anywhere you like. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Being poor doesn’t make you a failure. #life

Another day sneaking away through the crack in the door.

Back in the day, you weren’t trusted to operate an elevator and elevators had someone manning the controls, the elevator chauffeur.

“Do you have any good rumors?” “No, I don’t rent rooms.” #writing #throwawayline

I think it’s time to call it a day. Don’t you?

If you have imaginary friends, do you have imaginary enemies?

“He was a parasite who didn’t know the meaning of the word.” #writing #throwawayline

More publishing spam. Note the lack of specifics. Why should I even respond? #publishing #spam #failure

Safari’s “Hide Disttracting…” in Safari is broken. It doesn’t let you scroll o the item: dynamic content doesn’t work for some reason. It should be location-on-page and frequency-on-page based, not url-based. Seeing the same dynamic content multiple times on the same page. #apple #failure #safari

Time for a final readthrough. “To Preserve Health: Coins of Destiny Book I” #writing

What do you look forward to in your old age? #life

“Sometimes you have to pull a Yoshi.” #writing #throwawayline

“What do you fear and loath?”

I don’t mind being proven wrong. But you better be factually correct.

Life isn’t a race. Unless you race yourself. #life

“Your ship has sailed. Too bad you’re in a rowboat.” #life #writing

It’s almost time to pull out your wallet and buy all the goodies. #apple

Will yourself to be happy. Better yet, realize that you already are. You just overwhelm that happiness with lots of junk. #life #success
