It’s time for a break. I’m having a good writing session this morning. I’m at the point where I’m introducing the antagonist. I’m having fun with her, in a writing sort of way. #writing #nanowrimo

Happy World Jellyfish Day

Seems about right.

It’s a pretty, but cold, morning here in DE (not-Germany). I don’t plan on dong much of anything but writing and editing today. That leaves time for eating soup.

Good morning. Just because it’s dark doesn’t mean it’s bad. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Great album. I’m surprised I like it, though I’ve heard a couple of their songs. #music #metal

“No one talks about or demands honor nowadays. They want respect with no honor.”

Serious question for model-makers. What does a scale of 1/100th scale mean? I thought it was 1” = 100”, 1 unit of a random measure = 100 units of the same unit of measure. I’m seeing a lot of photo posts of models claiming nonsensical scale. #model

Are any of you still celebrating? Halloween?

You can’t fail if you never start. You’ll never win either. #life

Plan for tomorrow: write another 3-4K words. start one final pass on my Watsonian novel. eat soup.

The new version of the writing app seems stable and hasn’t crashed yet. It’s got a few bugs, mostly in how I’m calculating words, but nothing terminal. #writing #auteureist

Day 2 total: 7298 words. Time to stop for the day. #writing #nanowrimo

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that I have so much more to learn. #life

So why haven’t the people on the Bird site, just modified their avatars to include a blue check mark? Cheaper and worth as much as $20/month.

I wish Stephen Spielberg would stop making movies that look like they were shot in Ektachrome just to feel “nostalgic”. That doesn’t make the movie or story any better.

Hm. “A Christmas Story” sequel trailer is out. I’m not sure what to think. I’m not sure what Jean would’ve thought.

What if baseball players celebrated the way NFL players do when they score a run?

At first, Nintendo didn’t want a game about paint. They wanted to call it Spitoon. #nintendo #game

I’m surprised no one has used the neural engine in a iPhone to train an app to recognize and identify fonts. I could use that app. #ios

The iPhone’s OCR is surprisingly good. #iphone

English is weird. Overheard: “I was walking around with crutches.” Or, maybe the person was weird. #writing

Have fun. Bring joy. There will be time enough for being serious and worrying when the bad things happen. Only be serious when you need to do something serious. #life #success

I still need to think about what I want on the cover of my Watsonian novel. So far, I only have a vague idea. #holmes #watson #writing

So much for the outline I spent all that time prepping this novel. The story has already taken over. I still have my major waypoints that I can use, but the individual scenes are rubbish now. I’m not pantsing, but I can no longer rely on what I wanted. #writing #nanowrimo
