I’m going to have another easy day today. It’s pouring rain. It’s cold. It’s a soup kind of day. I still need to catch up on some stuff after #mdc3con. I’ll also edit and rewrite.

Good morning. Showing up every day requires discipline. Show up. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

What is your top productivity tip? Mine is: “Do mind dumps, to keep your mind clear for new ideas.” #life #productivity

‘Imagine the worst that could happen. Now double it. You only die once.” #writing #throwawayline

Life takes practice and learning from mistakes. #life #success

There is kindness in the world. Kindness isn’t a zero-sum game. Give it freely. #life #success

“The problem with prophets is they tend to die, or be killed. The smart ones keep their mouth shut.” #writing

Just because someone else has climbed your mountain doesn’t mean you can’t too. Just learn from the other person’s mistakes. #life #success

“The guppies gathered graciously about their God. Then they ate him.” #writing #throwawayline

My book “Scavenger Hunt” was written to answer a question,I had. What if a book had two opposing protagonists with no real antagonist? I think I did it. auteureist.com/Scavenger… #writing #book

Intent is personal force. #life #success

I’m beginning to think “Lower Decks” is a parody of ST and not meant to be serious. It’s still not good, even as a parody. Flame on! #startrek

Happy Mean Girls Appreciation Day Yes, it’s a thing.

I don’t like how my iOS writing app has stalled due to #xcode issues. I also think it’s too monolithic. I’m playing with the idea of yet again redesigning it and simplifying. The basics work. I just need to take into account Xcode weirdness and complexity. #ios #writing

During #nanowrimo I’ll work on my WIP. 100K words in a month? I’ll remember to breathe. It should be book 1 of 4. it will be a strong female led adventure/thriller. I’m sure I’ll mess it up. I need to find more female beta readers (no not fish). #writing #nanowrimo

My takeaway from Raymond Benson’s keynote: Some days a door slams shut. Some days a door never opens. Choose your doors wisely. There is always a toll to be paid to go through a door. Be a builder. Make your own doors. @raymondbenson

Never underestimate your worth. Never overestimate your worth. Balance in all things. #life #success

I got my iPhone Pro today, after ordering a non-pro by accident months ago. It’s all set up now. The always-on display is a nice touch. #ios #iphone

I edited 5 more scenes while waiting for lunch. 40 more to go. Slow progress, but it is progress. I’m hoping to push this book out before EOY. That will be the first time I’ve ever published 2 books within a single year. #writing #holmes #watson

“Don’t hurt me. You wouldn’t like me if you hurt me.” #writing #throwawayline

Gah! It’s almost noon. Time to forage for food in a feeding frenzy and do some editing. I have a lot to catch up (ketchup?) on. #writing #editing

It’s going to be a week full of rain and despair. Hopefully, that means i can get a lot done.
