The Invasion

Now I know what I’ll be doing part of this weekend. Thank goodness it will be raining #game #buttonshy

The sourdough is fed and seems happy. #baking

The new Doctor Who theme sounds good. #doctorwho

Time to switch gears. I didn’t finish the read-through today. Tomorrow, I’ll finish it and reformatting. Then I’ll work on front and back-matter. #writing #editing

If you keep telling yourself, I should be, you are wasting time not being. #life

If you don’t value what you do you don’t value your time. #life

To create time, you have to kill tasks. Time is a constant. Learn to live with it. #productivity

“You seek the truth, yet you believe.” #writing

If you’re trying to grow and acquire other businesses, you aren’t focused on your product. #business #failure

Back to the read-through.

“I don’t believe in superstitions. I don’t believe in salespeople.” #writing #throwawayline

Anyone remember when cars in the US were LoJacked?

I think an anthology called, “And the Amateur Detective Was Wrong” would be cool. Anyone want to contribute? lol. #writing #mystery #anthology

“Tom was a needy person. He was always going around thanking people. Around the office and in bed, he was known at Thomas the Thank Engine.” #writing #throwawayline

The weekend, here in the land of DE, will be beset by the rainings of sky water. I haven’t checked what it’s going to be like in De.

“No, I’m not superstious, believe in rituals, or luck. That’s the benefit of being an artificial. Cause and effect from and even before the so-called Big Bang. Randomness is an illusion, as is time.” #writing #coinsofdestiny2

“‘The older you get the more you feel.’ His sigh lingered on the night. ‘Why do you think Death puts people out of their misery? Even the misery they don’t know they have?’” #writing

What word do you overuse? With aphantasia, I need to mentally walk through actions, not envision them. I find I over use “start”, e.g., “He started to draw the knife. He began to wonder.” Lots of my editing involves excising these variants. #writing #editing

“He was the fisherman’s buddy. He was a chum.” #writing #throwawayline

“Winter comes. So does the Stillness.” #writing #throwawayline

“Squinting, he peered over his wire-rimmed glasses. With or without them, he still saw what was either a diaphanous nightgown or a ghost. He couldn’t tell. To him, it didn’t matter. He had lucked out.” #writing #throwawayline

I think I need a chapter before the first chapter. I like the current first chapter, but I think most would think it too slow. Luckily, this is a time travel story and I can pull something from tomorrow. #writing

“We all need time to think. Most would rather have time and not think.” #writing

“Sometimes, you have to keep your feet on the ground and your head above it to feel alive.” #writing
