I think I’ll fry up some chicken for lunch.

If you wonder who has more power, Putin or Trump, just ask who would win a dance-off.

Do people show mercy nowadays? Do they even know what it is? I feel it has gone the way of shame. Many have never learned or “believe” in either. #life #failure

Stop teaching our kids that bunnies lay eggs. No wonder this country is so messed up.~

Seriously, Happy National Dolphin Day.

Apparently Donny says Dr Oz is “tough and smart”. Maybe compared to Donny. Just don’t look behind the curtain. Why are we still hearing about/from Donny? Shouldn’t he be in jail and kept from running again? #democracy #failure

Happy National Sinking of the Titanic Day. I made this one up, since it’s the anniversary. Also, I’m proud to say, I’ve never seen the 1997 movie. Bleh. #titanic

Good morning. Express your emotions, but don’t force them on others. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: get back to a normal schedule of: — iOS — editing — writing — paying bills

I keep getting voicemails from people claiming to represent a publisher, but in the full one minute message they never once mention the name of said publisher. Also, why would a publisher need to cold-call an author, unless the “publisher” was struggling? #spam #publishing

Happy National Bookmobile Day. I think the last time I saw or used a bookmobile was in junior high school.

Sipping a pineapple banana smoothie, just because.

I could use a smoothie.

We’re at the midpoint of the week. How’s it going so far? Mean? Median? Average?

Usually, I have a general cover idea for the book I’m working on. This post-apocalypse thriller–not so much. #book #cover #design

I miss eating edible doughnuts… #netde

It’s time to switch it up: Esterbrook JR - Paradise Orange Sunset (B) w/ Iroshizuku Yama-budo #fountainpen @gouletpens

Growing up is painful because you learn the world and the people in it are imperfect and you believe they have more power than you because they berate and bully you. Aggression is weakness manifest. #life

You never know when someone will laugh at something you’ve said. If they do, you’re a comedian. #life

The tall and lanky terrorist looks around, panic in his eyes. “What’s that sound?” His companion pauses listening. “It’s a drone.” Terror grips the tall dark-bearded man.”Shit! We’re being attacked by Scots with bagpipes?” #writing #throwawayline

Work can and should be fulfilling. It should, however, never be the primary purpose of your life, the driver of your existence. If it is, you have lost sight of a multitude of options that life provides. #life #work

Writing is hard work. It’s not just sitting and thinking about stuff. It’s about sitting, thinking about stuff, and occasionally scribbling something. #writing
