Practice makes better, not perfect. If you’d practiced enough, you would know that. #life #success

I should start/rrevive some sourdough. It’s that time of year–cold. A hot oven and the aroma of baked goods (or bads) makes for a cozy environ. #baking

It always surprises me when #nanowrimo sneaks up on me only to slap me in the face with a dead fish. This year, I’ve brought the fish. #writing

“It’s a warm autumnal day begging for me to go out and stalk someone. But, I’m a cold person.” #writing #throwawayline

What if you only died when you ran out of stories to tell? #writing #prompt

A productive morning. Afternoon full of errands. Sentence fragments for the win.

Remember the “good old days” when ads were about “4 out of 5 doctors reccommend”? Now it’s about glitz and small print and voiceovers. #marketing #failure

What’s more important? What you learn or the takeaway? #training #education

Life is just a real-time montage.

“Funny thing is. Funny thing was. It’s no longer funny.” #writing

I still want to write something humorous/funny, or a parody people will understand. I’ve got a 4 book arc to write first. Maybe I’ll do something as a side-project, or in parallel. I’m not sure I can get away with it in the series… #writing #humor

Society is/are the lemmings. Lemmings need some one to follow. It’s more important to know where you are going than to lead. #life #success #society

Never throw out an idea just because someone tells you to. Just because they hate yours doesn’t mean they have one that’s better. #life #success

“She gasped at the sight of him. He was as she had dreamt him: short, ugly, and mean. She hoped he wasn’t as stupid as she had made him.” #writing

I’ve been struggling to come up with a good enough conspiracy around which to base my WIP. Then it hit me. I worked on a cool project at HP that would be a perfect brick-in-the-wall. #writing #nanowrimo #coinsofdesity

Why do you do what you do? Money and power are never a valid answer. I’ve always done what made me grow and enjoyed. I’ve been lucky that way.

This story is still a bit messy, but I’m feeling good about how it’s coming together and my ability to push it out before EOY. #writing #watson

It’s time to eat and edit.

Writing is about bringing order to your mind. #writing

Happy National LED Day I remember getting one of the first available LEDs from HP in the 1970s. It was a sales demo/freebie they sent out to introduce LEDs to companies, offered in a magazine.

Good morning. Bask in the sun of Friday. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

What’s an old man’s genre? #writing #books

Anyone remember the iTunes Music Festival? What ever happened with that? #apple #music

Happy National Badger Day … we don’t need no stinkin' badgers.
