Happy “Have a Bad Day” Day. Yes, it’s a thing.

I’m up, and hotel breakfast consumed. Working on my cup of coffee. Still at #philcon. Hitting my #writing goal today still takes priority over anything else I may want to do. It’s a nice toasty 31ºF outside .~

Good morning. A little progress is better than none. Just know where you are going. Time for the ceremonial coffee

There are Lists…

I’m still cleaning up my Bird acct. I’ve deleted the lists I had, and for the first time ever looked at the lists I’m on. I’m glad I never did, or this may have gone to my head. Fountain Pen Mobile Developer IOS Marketing Wizard Delawarean Math-Peeps AI Stars Writing / NaNoWriters To Read Agile …

…and no, I’ve never watched a Hallmark movie, Christmas or otherwise.

It’s time to thank all of you who follow, and interact with me. I hope you find something fun, humorous, or thought-worthy in what I do here. We know you have choice in air travel… Sorry, I got carried away. Seriously, I appreciate your conversations and patience. You guys rock.

Alright. If anyone still cares, I’m over 61K words. I think that’s enough writing for today. I’m really thrilled this character came to life. #writing #nanowrimo

PSA: It’s Friday. Stop toiling. Commence frolicking.

It’s time for a break and to scope out the area.

One reason I write: A third-tier character who has a critical role, but isn’t fully formed, more than half way through the novel, comes to life and fleshes itself out. Now, it’s competing with the main characters for the most interesting character spot in my mind. #writing

Ok. I picked up my Philcon pass. I think I need a free-writing break.

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

It’s OK to doubt yourself and your abilities. It’s OK for someone else to do so as well, but only if they have succeeded where you have failed. But no one should demean or insult you for failing, especially if they haven’t even tried. #life #success

It’s a soup for lunch day. Oo.. they have grilled cheese and soup on the lunch menu.

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

Happy Married to a Scorpio Support Day No, I don’t make this stuff up, and I’m probably as confused as you are.

Hm. It just hit me that this is the one Doubletree hotel I’ve ever been to that didn’t give out hot chocolate chip cookies, or even cold ones.

“The Small Shiny Shiv Shovers” should be a title. #writing

I’m hunkering down in the lobby to do some editing. NaNo messed up my schedule to get “The Singular Case of the Three Witches” out. I need to do something about that. #writing #editing
