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.

I plan on finishing my own edits of my thriller, “Scavenger Hunt”, today sometime. Next week, I’ll push it to an editor. It’s time for a break. #writing #editing

Happy Pink Strawberries Day

Good morning, all. Welcome to Friday. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Be useful. #life #success

Tomorrow: edit read plan eat

Not every major character needs an origin story; most don’t. #writing #character

Mystery is about not knowing. It’s not about finding out.

The beauty of not giving up is that you sometimes succeed. #life #success

Happy National Notebook Day

Vision pretty much back to normal. Itchy and twitchy eye, however.

The kiwis are in full bloom for the first time. Took about 10 years, but it looks like I may have a crop. #netde

I’m trying to catch up on the stuff I couldn’t do the past couple of days. It’s a losing battle, it seems.

Good morning. Healing is about letting go. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

If you want to keep things the same, static, you are afraid of the future, change, and what comes next. #life

If you’re not in awe of everything around you, you are already dead. #life #success

The problem with not being productive, is that I come up with more projects I want to work on.
