… either that or he works on IT.

Observed: guy in a white polo shirt just sitting, immobile, staring into the middle distance. He’s either a stalker or just dead. #writing #character

“How many times do you have to take a psychological test until it tells you you’re not psychotic?” #writing

I’ve never seen a straw drink.

I’m sitting out by the canal, and just finished working out the beats for the first book in my next series. #writing #planning

Weird idea: a restaurant for writers where you are kept at gunpoint until you finish your draft or edits. #writing

Editing done. Phew. That was a long haul. Will send this draft off to the editors this coming week. #writing #editing

Yup. Gonna find some water and sit near it today. First up, editing.

Good morning. No one has the ability to demean you except you. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

It’s Friday evening. Time for a glass of mead.

The temperature is going up into the 90s tomorrow. It sounds like a good day to get outside and sit by water. #netde

Now to find a display that fits. #mac #3dprint

Anyone remember when computers had trackballs? Much more intuitive than a mouse.

I should create my own OS. Nah! Not enough time.

I just asked (out of the blue) a waitperson: “How many of your ex-husbands have you killed?” The nervous laugh tells me everything I need. I’m slowly regaining my sense of humor… #writing #character

All it takes is: a juice can a wino a crooked lawyer a dead body a fluffy dog three hot tamales. …and you can have the perfect murder. #prompt #writing

I guess the Dover Air Show is this weekend. The Thunderbirds are practicing fly-overs. #netde

Stories use conflict to teach a lesson. In fact, many say you can’t have a story without conflict. Every story, therefore has conflict. Not all stories have love. Stories also teach conflict. #life #writing #failure

“I exist to persist.” #writing

The closer you get to 100, the shorter 100 years seems. #life

Thank you all. And thanks to everyone who reached out while I was fighting an eye infection. It was a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but if you sent good wishes, I appreciate them and you. Not all social media is a cesspool of hate.

I just decided to rewrite the ending… I figure, even though I like the original one and it has impact, killing everyone off would probably make people hate me/the book. #writing #editing

I’ve said this before. Whether it’s someone famous, family, or a stranger, thank people while they’re still alive. They won’t care after they’re dead. Thanking someone after they’re gone is about making you feel better, not necessarily the other person. #life #death

It’s time to eat and free-write.
