I guess I deserve to eat something today. I’ve laid out the first few scenes of Coins of Destiny 3. I’ve got an interesting arc for my protagonist, and a good antagonist. I have a theme, and have begun weaving it into the plot. It’s a good morning’s work. #writing #planning

I just discovered a great life hack. Just don’t die.

Gotta plan this morning, while I’m being attacked by Bit and Byte, two of the feral kittens.

Misheard: “Sherlock Holmes and his trusted ape, Watson.” There’s a story idea there… #writing #prompt

Today was far from a productive day. Oh well, hopefully, tomorrow will exist.

Good morning. Thank you for being here. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — get serious about planning the next book — coding — errands — maybe eat — play some games

Time for some tea.
