“He was a jellyfish of a man, all flimsy limbs and long snakelike hair, with none of the grace.” #writing

The future isn’t all you imagine it will be.

“It’s been raining ever since you were born, son. You’re twelve now, and old enough to understand, that it’s time to kill you and return the sun.” #writing

You can never be a failed writer if you have never written. #writing #life

Sitting, watching the sun sparkle off the lake, sipping a soda, waiting for food, I read through my Watsonian novel. It’s time to switch gears, I think. I have to wrestle words from my fingers and herd my hero to another cinematic scene. #writing

OK. I did a bit of work on my writing app. Got a weird bug I’m trying to track. Time to take care of stuff.

Happy Abet and Aid Punsters Day … and remember, the shortest distance between two puns is a straight line.

Today is an important day in the US. It should be interesting…

What are the chances of extraterrestrials visiting Earth at any time in its history vs. winning the US Powerball lottery? I think the answer would be surprising. #math #science #probability

Hello, people of Earth. Do some good today. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: write work on a couple things in the writing app / iOS SwiftUI find food somewhere. do a final quick read-through of my Watsonian novel so I can push it to the editor on Thurs. errands, if I have time.

PSA: Vote tomorrow. That is all.

Another 4K today for a total of almost 26K. The day started slow, but accelerated. If this were a normal NaNo for me, I’d be halfway after one week. As it is, I’m only a quarter of the way to 100K words. Time to relax. #writing #nanowrimo

I wonder about authors who claim their fantasies are epic. People, be a little humble, would you? .~

Side question: What is the best chess site? I haven’t played chess in years. I used to be good enough to play and win blindfolded, but those days are long gone. #chess

I think I need to carve out a chunk of time this week to push the Watsonian novel to the editor. #writing #holmes #watson

So is anyone eating anything interesting? I’m munching on sunflower seeds. It’s healthier than the buckets of ice cream I’d rather eat.

OK. It’s time for a break. Today is a decent writing day. I know I’ll have to rework some of the scenes, but the story moves forward (not foreword). #writing #nanowrimo

“Sleep. Dream. Toss. Nightmare. Scream. Wake. Sweat.” #writing

It’s time for another break. I keep adding words in the hope that this novel will magically finish itself. No such luck. #writing #nanowrimo

“Let all cower in terror at the mention of my name. For I am, Teddy Puddingsworth.” #writing #throwawayline

I think I’ll get a tuna sub for lunch.
