I don’t have “movies playing in my head”, that I just transcribe. I have to logically figure out the sequence of events in my books. I’m at one such point and I’m torn as to which direction to take the story. #writing

Hm. Am I the first to use the term “Bird Migration” to describe the Twitter exodus? I doubt it, but it would be cool if I were.

Ok, I had an especially good 25 minute sprint. 1+K I think I’ve earned a break. On another note, I’ve whittled down the people I follow on Bird down to 85, the rest have migrated elsewhere where I follow them. I’m hoping more will follow. #writing #twitter

Good morning. Another rough first night in a hotel. Got up at 1AM. Feels like the kidney stone is on the move. Also, I bet the fact the A/C was on full blast and there was no way to control it may have aggravated things. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
