I sent my old parents out to get me a shrubbery. They said, “Ni!” #writing #throwawayline

Remember when “gentrification” was a word? Now, it seems “revitalization” is the word of choice. They are pretty much identical.

The reason we hate hearing bad news isn’t because the news is bad, but because we fear and hate having to deal with it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be “bad” news. #life

I’m enjoying a lazy morning (well at least until 9AM), because then I’ll start writing and I know I won’t have time for much until lunch time.

Happy Hug a Bear Day

I had weird idea (I get lots of ‘em). What if hate and rage aren’t a normal condition, but the result of a chemical imbalance, therefore a disease, and should be treated as such?

Good morning, all. Find some quiet today and sit in it. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Time, or a lack thereof, is never a valid excuse. You are in charge of the time you have. No one takes it from you. You choose to give it away. #life

Do what will have the most impact. Do what has the least probability of succeeding. Do what you don’t want to do. These are the paths to success. #life

“Would you like to donate to the Church of Overlasting Pain and Greed?” #writing #throwawayline

Wealth does not confer intelligence. ancient proverb I just made up.

Given what I’m seeing, it may be wise to pull an archive of all your data and contacts on the Bird site before Elon starts purging,scrubbing data and connections. Do it ASAP. If you intend leaving Bird, delete your acct. I’m sure your info will end up on various email lists.

“Broken dreams and broken promises will shatter you.” The old man sighed sitting down. “I’ve had more than my share. Self-reliance makes a strong glue.” #writing

Anyone remember Zip drives? Not zip ties.

Plan for tomorrow: write (of course) iOS (work some more on Auteureist) make some sausage and rice (got food to use up) play a game or two to decompress and remain sane.

Yo! What are you doing tomorrow? Vent your frustrations. You deserve it.

OK. I made it to 3.2K words today. A smidge under my daily goal, but I’m struggling to produce useful words. Total after six days: 22K. Time to shut down the writing portion of my brain. #writing #nanowrimo

Hey, if you’re writing (or doing anything else for that matter) and need some encouragement and motivation, here you go… Do it now, or I’ll call your mother. #writing

I just noticed that you always see Dwayne Johnson and “The Rock” in the same room at the same time. Weird. @therock

This time change thing finally hit. I’m dragging to write another 300 words, at a minimum. And why do all my clocks say 8:20? Weren’t they supposed to change? I was expecting them to change into doughnuts. Or elephants.

I just got feedback from my beta reader. She said she couldn’t put it down, and the dialog was what stood out. Phew! Guess I’m on the right track. #writing #nanowrimo

“All Murders In Moderation” should be a title. Feel free to use it. #writing #prompt

“How’d you like to speed up your C++ code 115%?” “Why would I use C++?” .~

I think it’s time for an AC/DC break.

Time for a break. Time to plug the iPad in.
