Anyone remember CICS and X.25?

Sinuses are killing me this morning. It’s making writing problematic. Still, I’m at 1K for the day, so far. #writing #nanowrimo

I’m steeling myself for another day of writing. I’d rather still be asleep.

I don’t understand plastic fruit and flowers.

Good morning, people of the weekend. Dance, sing, cavort. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — write — that is all.

My parents wanted me to be a doctor. They got me a scalpel for my eight birthday and told me, “Physician, heal thyself.”

The WoW expansion trailer looks great. Blizzard knows how to do cinematics. #game #wow

Do not succumb to the clock overlords! Resist! Do not reset your clocks this Sunday!

I made it. I hit 11.5K on day 3. This is the best stuff I’ve written in a first draft. Time to grab some food and relax until tomorrow. I’m not sure if I’m getting better through the years, or I just stumbled on a great story. #writing #nanowrimo

“What are you doing? Are you insane?” His grin was feral. “No. I’m just reality challenged.” #writing #throwawayline

It’s time for a quick break. What’s everyone doing today?

Happy Fountain Pen Day. This being NaNoWriMo month, my fountain pen use is limited to journaling. I’m typing my story because I need to be fleet of fingers and word.

Elon is going to release xAI to a “select group”. That means he either wants to control them or train the AI to control others. What other reason would there be? #ai #x

This month isn’t leaving a lot of time for living. #nanowrimo #writing

With any luck, I should be at around 11K words by the end of the day. #writing #nanowrimo

I just submitted some requested changes to the cover proof of “Out of Time”. Nothing major, just some typography and image adjustment. #writing #cover #design

The view from breakfast #photography

Day 3 of churning out a new story. #writing #nanowrimo
