It’s a slow writing day. The book feels like it wants to end early. I’m trying to coax it through the way a coach motivates an athlete to work through the wall. #writing

This book has a tentative title: “Coins of Destiny II - Waking Demons” #writing

PSA: Despite what you may have been told or believe, Black Friday is not a holiday.

Well, that’s interesting. The story just took an interesting and unexpected turn. It took a completely new direction that opens up all sorts of story threads for book 3. It, however, does little to help resolve what’s going on in this book, book 2. #writing

“What are you getting for the holidays?” “Tired.” #writing #throwawayline

Tradition is just something people haven’t figured out how to do better. Ritual is just something people do when they don’t know why they do it.

People who voluntarily watch “influencers” want to be influenced. We call these people “sheep”.

Yawn. It’s Wednesday. You know what that means. It means it’s better than Monday. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I’m over 70K words. Time to call it a day. #writing

Plan for tomorrow: — breakfast — write — play tourist (try to find Old Bay fudge as a prank gift) — write at Starbucks — take a walk — free-write at dinner

Pick people over objects. Objects includes money.

Back to writing.

Just because you have a niche doesn’t mean the niche is worth having. #life

Some people appreciate being appreciatediates. That’s selfish. #life #failure

Water martini. Shaken. Not stirred.

Isn’t McDonald’s catering just take-out?

Ordered fish and chips. It should be safe. #food

“The universe loves a vacuum. That’s why there are so many idiots.”

Talking to bartender: Weirdest drinks: — Kahlua and Cranberry —Jesus shot: Pinot noir or and Red Bull shot. #writing

An authentic bar.

Well, this is disturbing.

Back in my day, old schooll meant a red building.

Observation: more people buddy me on the NaNoWriMo site than actually write. Weird #writingg #nanowrimo

I’m slowly decompressing. It won’t last long c since I have more writing to do today. #writing

Things to ask your bar/restaurant server: — have you ever had a bar fight break out. — were weapons involved — was it over a woman/man/sports team — was there blood — what’s the weirdest drink you’ve had to mix #writing Yes, I ask these.
