“I wish I had done that…” What do you wish you had done? Why haven’t you done it? What will you regret on your death bed now that I’ve reminded you? Me? - I’m hoping to get to Japan next year, and maybe Spain. #life #success

“‘You don’t know how to solve a problem? Try playing. If you play long enough, the problem will go away, or you’ll find a solution, usually alcoholic.’ He laughed, his stomach bouncing the way a gelatinous Slinky™ might. He tugged on his white beard, giving me a wink.” #writing

It’s time for a break. It’s time to eat. I’m into Act II and I’ve had some great moments, I think. Plus some good reveals, and some oh-so-subtle (plus a few not so subtle) jokes and breadcrumbs. I’m feeling good about this book. Still a long way to go. #writing

Despite being a shortened writing day due to travel, I’m nearing my daily word goal. Weird, but it doesn’t feel like I can relax until Dec.1. #writing #nanowrimo

I’m hanging out at the hotel restaurant, waiting for food, writing. #writing #nanowrimo

Should I eat some lunch? It’s 3PM. Or should I just wait until dinner in a couple of hours? I think I can wait.

Ok. Just hit the hotel. Time to catch up on writing.

Time to head to #philcon.

“He scooped another shovel of dirt onto the growing pile, then paused to wipe his brow with a sleeve and to look up at the man holding the gun on him. A small smile formed on his lips, knowing the rattler would make the grave not his own.” #writing #throwawayline

Don’t underestimate your life. Don’t overestimate your life in comparison to others. That is, we are all of equal value. #life #success

This month is just disappearing behind me. I think being heads-down writing is part of it. In the US, Turkey Day is next week, already. I have a mini-vacation scheduled, which will be spent writing. Life trundles on.

Happy National Unfriend Day. Isn’t it time to declutter your life on Bird?

Hello. Your mood when you wake up tends to set the mood for the day. Wake up happy. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Hm. Just had a weird idea: The 12 Books of Christmas. I wonder what they would be. (Religious books need not apply.) #books #reading

Back in my day, you could get a free paper map at gas stations. We didn’t have GPS. We had to use the stars to navigate.

OK. Another daily target hit. Phew! Time to rest up for tomorrow.

Time for a quick break. I wish I had a cookie.

Plan for tomorrow: iOS editing drive to Philcon write

I’m still writing today. I took a couple of hours to do some light reading. It’s been a slow writing day. I need another 1K to hit my goal. If I want to prove to myself that I can hit 100K, I need to write through the times I don’t feel like writing. #writing #nanowwimo

Space is Where the Money Is, And Goes

So, I’m all for science and trying new things. But the money “to go to space” to massage billionaires’ egos is a waste. The money would be better off paying taxes or solving problems at home. But, that’s apparently not exciting enough for the billionaires. Oh right, they’ll be the first to leave the …

I need a break from the story. I think I’ll read something useless for a bit. I’m at about 2K words for the day. #writing #nanowrimo

Well, this is a new “feature” in iOS. Safari, crashing web tabs. They must have added a timer to expire web page content, or something. 16.2b+ #iPadOS

How much of an ego does a person need to consider themselves “The Queen of Christmas?” This is a rhetorical question.

Gah! It’s 3PM already, and I’ve only managed a little over 1K words. Need to pump up the jam. #writing
