Have you ever noticed that radar maps never show the position of radar units?.~

Hear me out. “Master Chef Meets Jurassic Park.” #screenplay #pitchmeeting

Overheard: “I want spaghetti with Mariner sauce.” Not going there.

English is weird. We say, “I feel sorry” when someone passes/dies, when what we should be saying is, “I feel sorrow.” #life #english

I learned a long time ago not to take a personal insult personally. It has stood me in good stead. #life #success

So. Do you pair wine with food? Or do you pair food with wine? #food #wine

I should ink up a third #fountainpen that I take on vacation…just in case.

So, do people still read physical comics books? Or has the Marvel MCU movies soured you on them? I miss movies about real humans making awful life choices which lead to moments of humor… #comics #mcu

Bummer! The Pico W I just got seems to be dead. Can’t get it to boot or do anything. Oh well. #raspberrypico

I’m nearing the end of deconstructing my draft. It’s taking time to build a proper timeline, but I’m finding it worth the time. ;) It’s pointing out strengths and plot holes. It’s also helping with continuity of place. #writing #timeline
