The demons of Christmas are gathering…

Time to call it a day, writing wise. Time to pack. I had 2571 words for the day and am at 32,229 words total. I’m aiming for a total of about 50K for this pulp novel. #writing #pulp

Happy Christmas Eve Eve Happy Chanukah Eve Eve Happy Kwanza Eve Eve Eve And if you don’t celebrate, you probably won’t be much fun at parties.

A lot of people died this past year…

OK. I need a break. I cracked 2K today. I think I have at least another 500 words in me today. #writing

It’s time for a break. I’m pounding keys, hoping to unlock the words. #writing

Which book did you get yourself for the holidays? #reading

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

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.
