How can you improve yourself without acknowledging your potential? And in order to do so, you must first acknowledge your weaknesses. #life #success

I didn’t get as much writing done, as I had hoped. Goals are targets, not destinations. #writing

“Back in my day… we had night, not a sky full of artificial stars and electric glow.” #writing #throwawayline

Yo! It’s Friday, y’all. Break out of the work and into the weekend.

Vicious Rumor: Paramount+ to launch new Star Trek series next year, simply called, “The Doctor”. It will star Robert Picardo as an EMH coming to grips with a Federation whose only intent is to test the first time ship. #startrek @robertpicardo

March “Madness” doesn’t live up to festival in Star Trek. #basketball #startrek #archons

“The shadow moved across the shaft of light which snuck into the closet under the door. His heart raced. He froze, holding his breath wondering if the rumors were true. Death had come back from holiday and begun to take a more active role.” #writing

Don’t kill someone’s joy. If you do, it just means you are either jealous or have more than they do. In either case, you are just making yourself smaller. #life #failure

It’s not enough to look up to someone for what they do. You must emulate them, or you will forever remain below them. #life

Hero’s aren’t the only ones who are virtuous. They are merely the ones who have extraordinarily good virtues. Everyone has virtues, both good and bad. #life #success

I can’t write on this paper. I wrote 3 pages, then it was too painful to watch. I know now how this short story is going to end. The nib, however, is glorious. It’s wet (obviously) and really REALLY soft. Pneider makes great nibs. #writing #fountainpen #shortstory @gouletpens

Cheap. Absorbent paper. Yuck. This is the reverse side of a page. When using a fountainpen, paper makes a difference. I chose to ignore what I know. #fountainpen #paper

Wow this nib is a gusher. I should have brought a decent notebook. This US generic is awful. #fountainpen #paper

It’s time to eat and write again. Errands completed.

I feel like pancakes. Eating them, not being them.

Time to switch it up. Something different. A Taccacia Covenant (F) w/Colorverse Black Hole. The pen doesn’t have a cap. It has a sheath. Photos of unsheathed, and sheathed. (Yes, it posts). #fountainpen @gouletpens

Happy No Homework Day

Life is never worth putting off. #life

Good morning all. The discursive mind is an unfocused mind. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

“The gun wavered as his hand shook. It always did when a gorgeous babe was around. A stream of cigarette smoke curved its way around her the way he wished he could.” #writing

Plan for tomorrow: iOS stuff if XCode behaves. work on my mini-eReader (I haven’t looked at the code all week). work on the short story. start reorganizing my bookcases/books eat stuff.

I never understood the point of flash cards.

OK. Now I’ve seen/heard everything. Morse code is music. youtu.be/nb85M-hWL… #music #hamradio #cw

“Scream away in the silence. Scream away the silence.” #writing

Just because you’re weird doesn’t mean you’re not valuable.
