Personal/family stuff tomorrow, followed by a book thing (not mine).

“The warthogs ran amuck. They had a manual.” #writing #throwawayline

“Some days you have to make do with what you know, do the best you can, and expect miracles from a god long dead.” #writing

“I’ll just get a beer. Coors Lite.” “Dude, that’s not a beer.” “Then why does it cost so much?”

“The network America trusts.” To do what? Feel good marketing that means 0. #marketing #failure

Dinner. #food A

I miss traveling. I hope next year. #travel

Some are impressed with bragging because they equate it with action and success. #life #failure

I’m sitting in a near-empty Mexican restaurant next to the hotel. So I’m writing and watching the Phil’s game because I can’t people watch.

I think I need some small projects; something I can easily complete. I’ve been swamping myself with long term stuff. I need a break. I need to see some results. #life #productivity

It’s time to kick back and do some free-writing. Chips and salsa for the win.

It’s good enough just to be you as long as you allow others to be themselves. #life

I feel today is a good day to hunt down some unsuspecting Mexican food.

I’m reviewing what I have for the plot outline. I haven’t worked on it in over a few months. I’ve been focused on getting my Watsonian novel done. #nanowrimo @plottr

I’m getting serious about my goal of 100K for #nanowrimo next month. I just created the project file. #writing

When was the last time you heard someone say, “Bits and bobs”?

I’m beginning to discover that I don’t have anything to prove to myself, let alone to others. Age has a way of exposing that your mere existence for this length of time is proof of success. Which is not to say that I don’t want to accomplish more. #life

Happy Dress Like a Dork Day Not a special day for me.

“I said I wanted Scrabble, not Scrapple for my birthday.”

Brisk day for a walk in the park.

“Her eyes burned into me, searing my soul leaving black, hard, and cold cinders.” #writing

I’m editing at Starbucks. There is a biz meeting going on. A young woman has an interesting quirk. I can judge how much she agreees with something based on how many consecutive “yeah”s she uses. 5 is the tops. #writing #character

Earn your trust. Earn your respect. Don’t expect it to be freely given just because you exist. #life #success

I have a free day in PA. I’ll spend most of it editing the novel, and perhaps take a literal walk in the park. There is frost on the windshield, however.

Good morning, all. Neither be a spendthrift, nor greedy with your time. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
