Plan for tomorrow: — work on “To Gain Knowledge” — program a bit — read — errands — eat (a priority)

Good to see Spiderweb Software is still in business and producing new games. I used to love these on the old Macs. www.spiderwebsoftware.com/avernum/a… #game #mac

“You’re worrisome.” “No. I worry a lot.” #writing #throwawayline

People should use “dast” more often in conversations and in writing. @grammargirl #writing #raymondchandler

“It’s OK to show emotion. The problem is humans expect context-sensitive emotions.” #writing #throwawayline

“On the plus side, we had him. He not only tipped the scales, he flattened them.” #writing #humor #throwawayline

“Civilization has come along way. We no longer run around pillaging and raping. Now, we have better means of instilling terror and death. We have marketing where people actually pay us to do it.” #writing
