Maybe I’ll try to figure out how to log into FFXIV next year. I keep trying and it’s the one bit of software that demands I jump through hoops of fire just to log in. Oh, and there are no good instructions/tutorials. An AI must have written the login process. #ffxiv

I’m getting antsy to get back to writing, since I’m taking December off. My mind is accumulating ideas for the third book in my new series. I think that makes me a writer. #writing

“I’m going to wash my hands of you.” Sigh. “You should really stop touching me then.” #writing #throwawayline

“Why did you come?” “You said you missed me.” “No, I said I missed your messages.” #writing #throwawayline

The obvious must be stated because, most times, the obvious is ignored. #life #success #business

Do you prefer to stay at home during the New Year, or are you a social party animal that goes out and “ties one on”? #newyear

I still find it disconcerting and discomfiting to see all the so-called “analysts” on news and sports media spouting opinion as analysis.

“His was an unusual position. He was the Under-CEO of Unusual Positions dot com. “ #writing #throwawayline

Reading is about experiencing things. Reading is about learning things. Reading is about expressing things. Reading is about growing and changing. Reading is about learning about yourself. If you ban books, you ban growth and change. #books #reading #libarary

I’m getting antsy to start planning next year.

I need to get stuff to make shu mai this weekend. I really need to work on the wrappers. I can make decent dumpling wrappers, but they always tend to be too thick. #food

I should probably do something more than just think about lunch.

Final cover reveal for “Out of Time”. I requested some minor tweaks to the image and text. auteureist.com/ComingSoo… #writing #publishing #cover #sf

It’s almost time to wipe all my lists, email and otherwise, clean. Start fresh in the new year.

Happy Cat Herder’s Day Yes, it’s a thing.

Hm. PA thinking about requiring training in cursive (not cursing) in schools. #writing

“Don’t threaten me. If you do anything to harm me, you’ll hear from my mother.” “But she’s dead.” “Then you have more to fear.” #writing #throwawayline

Good morning. Open your eyes. It’s Friday. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

“Fate is just what you call something that you either wanted to happen or not. Fate is just another word for stuff happening.” To my shock, he swatted my glass off the bar into a thousand shards of glass and whisky. “That’s not fate, son. That’s me making a choice, something you never do.” #writing

Happy National Screwdriver Day …the drink.

“If we permit it, then everyone will want to do it.” Is the mentality of those fighting to control their own behavior. #life #failure

“Wisdom isn’t just for the wise.” #writing

Veni vidi vending.

Good morning. Glory in another morning. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
