I need to run some errands. I need to do some house chores. I need to do more editing. I need to study. I need to play some games. That should run out the clock today.

Thank you. Thank you for following me. Thank you for reading my posts. Thank you for interacting with me. Thank you for buying my books, if you have. Thank you. You are appreciated.

I need to do something fun. I still don’t know what that entails or what “fun” is. I hear people enjoy it. I guess I’ll settle for doing something relaxing.

I wonder if I should rewrite the first scene in this book. I get a “feeling” that it might not pull enough, even thought it works. I trust my feelings enough to think about it. #writing #editing

MMOs have “grind” quests where someone continually asks you for 40 spider legs, or some such useless item. They never do anything with the item once you deliver it to them. But you get paid. Work is like that. You get to continually do a meaningless , if you’re lucky, you get paid. #life #work

I edited more of my next book. I hope to get it out before August. I also spent time playing a bit with PICO-8 again. I should spend some time doing the same with Picotron. I’m OK with Lua but would really prefer Python or Ruby. #writing #programming #pico8 #picotron
