If you could send a message to your future self, what would you tell yourself in the year 2024? Do it. Don’t worry that you can’t warn your past self. It’s better to warn your future self. #life #success

Look back on this past year. Do it before you’re “obligated” to do so around the new year. What have you accomplished? What have you failed at? Who do you have to thank for your successes? You should thank them, if you haven’t. #life #2023

‘Tis the season for spam “publishing” promoters. I just got two calls from people trying to get rights to “Last Call” and “The Singular Case of the Three Witches”. I don’t even bother answering/responding. Reputable agents/publishers don’t cold-call. #writing #publishing

So, apparently a group of children is called a “passle of kids”.

“I tried using one of those new fangled A.I. things. Every time I ask it something, ChatGPT keeps telling me I’m going to die. It’s not wrong. But when I ask it when, it just laughs.” #writing #throwawayline

The stuff I need to do is piling up as I’ve spent the month pretty much just writing. The next few days, I’ll be catching up.

Happy National Mason Jar Day Do you know the secret way to unscrew the lid?

There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. #life

I have a new way of messing with restaurant servers (and others). Turn to an empty space and comment on your life. When the servers look at you funny, just turn to them and say, “I’m breaking the Fifth Wall.” Works every time. Of course, I up the tip for messing with them. #life #writing #humor

Ugh. It’s almost lunch time. I still have words to string together to make meaning.

Good morning. Keep on keepin' on. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Writing done for today.

I haven’t made gravlax in a while. I should make some for the holidays. #food

Anyone else feel like they’re tired?

“No one needs a plan of action more than the person who thinks he knows what he’s doing.” #life

“A hero is just an insane person doing the insane that happens to help others.” #writing

Plan for tomorrow: — finish this book — eat / free-write — fall over

“Everybody needs a dead body in the pantry.” #writing #throwawayline

You know what time it is? It’s time for a break.

So, is your grandmother going to give you a ChiaPet for Christmas again?

Happy Throw Out Your Leftovers Day That’s every day for me. Leftovers are horrid. That’s why try to eat everything on my plate.

Two days left in November. Two days left in NaNoWriMo. Two days left to hit 100K words. Two days left to finish. #writing #nanowrimo

Good morning. It’s cold out. There is ice. Do something useful today. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — iOS stuff — more writing — more chores — more food
