I think it’s time for an AC/DC break.

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

You can’t make a storm go away. Often you can’t take shelter from it. Usually, the storm is of your own making and you have to weather it, and make things better. #life #success

Watching a doe and her small deer drink at the pond and being affectionate. Life isn’t awful unless you make it. #life

I’m thinking faster than I type today. Words are being dropped in both my posts and writing. Trying to get words into NaNoWriMo is taking its toll. Apologies for any confusion that may result. #writing

So, has anyone started planning things for 2023? I’m considering breaking out of my self-imposed travel embargo.

Ok. This story is going places I didn’t intend it to go. That’s good, but it means I now have to remember new stuff. I tend to write “in the moment” so I’m sure I’ll have some continuity errors to deal with after this is over. #writing #nanowrimo

Just because the journey is slow, doesn’t mean you aren’t going somewhere—well, maybe you’re not. #life

Never throw the baby out with the bath water. You can use the water to raise plants.

If you have to make money in order to create art, cut out the middle-man and create money instead.

Back in my day, muscisians were called for “selling out”. Now, it’s just business as usual. #art #music

What is the purpose of a seating arrangement, apart from making you sit next to someone you don’t want to sit next to?

Do people still go to company “work” parties? Do they, the parties, still exist? Are they still as awkward and embarrassing as they were?

Back on track. 1.6K so far today. I just sent what I have so far to a beta reader to see if I’m OK. The wings place is packed. It must be football (the catch and throw kind).
