I feel like baking, but it’s too hot. I guess I could go outside. If you get it, you get it.

If you read, write, or collect books, you attend Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity. It’s a great con–conference, that is. It’s not a “con”. Authors of all types, fun people, great sessions, author signings, and I’ll be making a nuisance of myself. creaturescrimesandcreativity.com #book

If you’re reading this, thank you. I hope I give you an alternative to “doomscrollling”. Those who react, respond, or target me for blocking, thank you. That means I’m making you think and react. Seriously, I appreciate you. Trolls will be eliminated.

If you keep all of your ideas to yourself, you are insecure. #life #failure

“His metaphors were a broken window welcoming all thieves.” #writing #metaphor

“His character could best be described as ‘slime’. He went through life leaving a slippery trail, that although easy to follow no one cared to.” — too much exposition #writing #character #throwawayline

I’m fighting the urge to start a new novel and instead focusing on planning my WIP. I’m still a pantser at heart, but I do see the value of organizing thoughts which is the pantser fodder. #writing

Someone should calculate the odds of the weather on any given day being ideal for you and push a notification that you should enjoy it. It seems the odds would be minuscule and therefore important. #weather #app

I should plan a mini-vacation. Next month will be stressful in a not-so-pleasant manner.

Long ago, I learned that being bored was ok, but being stuck in a rut doing the same things day-in and day-out was a life suck. Complacency and sameness lead to a grey/gray life which many find pleasant. #life

The funny bit about humor is that it exists to subvert your expectations. #writing #humor #comedy

“Welcome to the Necrodance. We hope you bring a partner.” #writing #throwawayline

Interesting that Noel dropped from the news of late. He must be skulking, sulking, and plotting his evil plots.

You don’t need to be a super hero. A normal one will do. #life #success

“Kings and emperors come and go, but the peasants remain. After all, there are more of them.” #writing

“The act of crying drains your energy and emotions. It’s a self-defense mechanism to draw you further from the pain.”

I have an urge to review my knowledge of calculus. I’m not sure why. I hated it in college (mostly due to the prof just reading the calc book he wrote). #math #calculus

What genre of fiction is the worst kind? What genre is underrated? What genre is overrated? #writing #fiction #genre

I’m still waiting for the cover proof for “The Cat and the Warlock”. Hopefully, I’ll get something in the next week or two. #cover #design #publishing

Wouldn’t it be interesting if everything was boring?

If life worked the way authors wrote character arcs, we’d all lead interesting lives, but life doesn’t follow the writer’s rules. You can have an interesting life without an arc. #writing #life

Life has a way of ending when you least expect it. Those who fear death are unhappy with how their life. The content neither welcome nor fear death. #life

The higher you climb, the more alone you get, and the more you see. Of course, you stand out more and are easier to hit.” #writing
