This is my trend if anyone cares. That flat-line at the end of the trend is my motivation to bend it. #writing #nanowrimo

If you’re struggling with NaNoWriMo, don’t give up. If you’re blocked, write stream of consciousness. It’s the words that count during NaNo, not the quality. If you have quality, that’s even better. Don’t get discouraged. That’s just an emotion. Write! …

Philcon starts this Thursday. I’ll be attending as a plebian. If you’re going and want to meet, I’ll be writing in the lobby/restaurant/bar unless I’m somewhere else. Don’t worry, I’m a nice guy, I’m told. Unless I’m not hitting my word count… #philcon …

Too bad the joke about knights and reading that my mind just stumbled on isn’t suitable for human consumption.

So, it’s mid-November. Remember the 75-80º weather last week? It’s 35º now, up from a low of 32º. Welcome to Delaware in the Climate Age. #netde #weather #climateage

Hello. Be amazing. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Phew! I’m done writing for the day. I crossed the 45K mark. Today was a good writing day. #writing #nanowrimo

Have you ever been afraid that you were good enough? #life

“The NaNoWriMonicon - Tome of the Elder Word Gods” Subtitle: “A Book of Many Words” “Filled me with fear and hope. Had to put it down in order to start writing. Repetitive—happens every November. The characters were undeveloped—just 26.” - A Wordle Fan #writing #nanowrimo

OK. I’ve deferred resolving the character’s death until near the end of the book. It works for me. #writing #nanowrimo

Weekends in November should be 4 days long. That way I could write for 2 and play for 2.

— CONTENT WARNING — What is it with Mariah Carey and Christmas? It seems very annoying and cloying to me. It’s all about the marketing.

Not respecting someone requires both civility and politeness. If you have neither, you deserve no respect. #life #success

Time for some tea. I’d ask you to join me in a cup, but I don’t have one that large.

It’s time for a longer break. I’m at the point where I’ve set up a character’s death. Now I need to decide whether to go through with it, or work around it. All for the benefit of the story. #writing #nanowrimo

I think I need to sort the scene date menu. Hm. #ios #swiftui #writing

“History isn’t meant to be happy, optimistic, or promote a side. History is the ugly truth.” #writing #history

I’ve had a late start writing today, what with updating blogs and scurrying about like a squirrel in a sand castle running errands. But, I’m back on track. I feel a pizza is on order, or will soon be once I order it.

Happy Symphonic Metal Day Yes, it’s a thing. And to celebrate it (and all the Bird trolls), I present: www.youtube.com/watch #music #metal
