Grr. I can no longer user the Goodreads API. Need to find an alternative. #goodreads #api

So what’s everyone doing today?

People want to be significant. They believe if they do, say, or get something special they will become significant. Significance is like chasing a rainbow. There is never any gold at the end. #life #failure

You have an unlimited imagination. You don’t have unlimited time. Make sure you make the most of both. #life #success

Oh no! More tasty Lamy Safaris released. #fountainpen

OK. I figured out how to use the basics of Flask Blueprints and spent a bunch of time rearchitecting The Continuity. Still trying to figure out how to pass around contexts. Time for a break. #web python #flask #blueprint

“He was the black sheep of the family of black sheep.” #writing

“It’s not enough to want, hope, or pray for something. God created humans by mistake, and doesn’t care what happens. Put in the work. He then retired to Vegas where he lost everything.” #writing #character

Observed: She would have been a third rate character actor, playing the bedraggled farmer’s wife. He was the quintessential farmer who didn’t even rate ‘supporting actor’. Her role was to complain, his to demean. #writing #throwawayline

“He’d invested a lot of time and energy on Twitter. He treated it as money and was unwilling to lose it despite the cost and lack of return.” #twitter #roi #writing #character #throwawayline

English/American is weird. Do you pronounce it “Kee-no”, “Keh-no”, “Kenno”, or “Cinema”? #keno

Buy a book. Feed a feral. Cat, not book. #book #cat #reading #watson

“Frumpy and moist: these were the two things she never wanted to be.” #writing #character

Tomorrow will be a normal day. At least as far as I go.
