“Books are for reading. They are not for marking up with highlighters, pens, or pencils. They are not for dog-earring, tearing, burning, pillaging, or looting. If you treat a book with respect, it will give up its knowledge or entertainment willingly.” #reading #books #writing #throwawayline

Remember when people used to say, “Give me a solid!”, and “It’s a gas!”? What ever happened to liquids? Oh, right. They were drunk—and staggering.

The Gathering: Kittens are out of hiding more often. Fudge is playing and caring for them.The tiny black one has a white spot. So, I’ve named it Mote. I haven’t decided on the orange ones yet. I’ll have to have them adopted/spayed/neutered. I don’t need more. They are cute, however. #feral #cat

Alchemy isn’t about metals. It’s about combining thoughts to create new ones. Some of them will be gold.

OK. I’ve written a couple more scenes. I have about 2K words to go to hit the word limit for the C3 short story. I could probably make this a novel, but hey. It’s hard enough as it is.

“How many bits are you?”

“He dragged his feet. They had been sliced off by a chainsaw and were now tied with twine to his wrist.” Yes, I have a weird sense of humo[u]r. #writing #throwawayline

I’m hanging out in PA, working on my C3 short story, and listening in on conversations. Most of them concern the All Star game and how the Phillies are going to win the pennant. No, comment.

“It was a lucky day. The stars lined up. Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Chevy Chase, the bald guy with flat feet, and several others It was a stellar spectacle” #writing #throwawayline

Well, this is fun.

Discovered one of the AirPod Pro buds in the washing machine. Not sure how that’s possible since I keep them in the case. Anyway, it was dead. But it turned out the battery was drained. After a charge all is good. Phew! #apple #airpods

Greetings. Stay silly. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Anyone remember Alan Kay? Who is today’s version of Alan Kay?

“The Empty Bag of the Eldritch Nothingness” should be a title. #writing #prompt

Hm. Just stumbled onto bento.me Do I need another acct?

OK, people. Slap me with some knowledge.

I should install and play around with Writebook. once.com/writebook… Might be good for free/short fiction. Dunno. #writing #publishing

Plan for tomorrow: – Errands – Editing – Food – Driving

Why can’t we develop iOS apps using NewtonScript? It’s a much tastier language than Swift. I’d love to fool around with NS again, but I don’t want the hassle of pulling down my own ROM. That’s too much like being a Computer Engineer. #ios #newton

Another good day of editing “To Preserve Health”. It’s feeling more polished. There is still a lot to fix. #writing #editing

The busier you are, the more important it is that you find time to relax. #life #success
