Another night at the fire of my story, telling my tale to the stars...

I've got to say, if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I'd like to come back as my cat. He has the life.

For a short month, February sure is taking its sweet time.

The beginning of every writing day starts with coffee. It is the equivalent of donning my armor and honing my weapons before battle in the olden days.

This is a good idea!

I remember when I first heard people skip prologues, my initial reaction was disbelief. I still don't understand it. It's like me saying, "Oh, I never watch the first ten minutes of a movie."

I don’t do it that often, but I like writing in the quiet hours of the night. Everyone is asleep, even my cat, and it’s almost like I’m all alone in another world. Just me and these characters…

Ah yes, writing.

Just hammering away at my WIP and my sword arm is getting tired.

Yup. The long hard journey continues.

If there’s one thing my cat cannot abide, it’s me getting some undisturbed sleep at night.

Writing is such a strange thing. One day I’m on fire with the heat of my story. The next, I’m a pile of wet smoldering ashes.

One of the many reasons I like Scrivener. It keeps all my files in one place. I have a 'Not Used' folder and an 'Old Material' folder (for versions before rewrite. Sometimes I've written a chapter and then decided it doesn't work.)

I write what I believe, hoping to find truth by the end.

The road is long and winding, filled with danger and despair. And I do not even know if I will reach its end. Yet still I trod on.

I hate when characters in books and movies make really stupid decisions. Me: answering the DM from ExiledNigerianPrince

I may pay the mortgage but my cat owns the house. God forbid I should close a door without his permission.

In my personal life story, my cat switches from faithful companion to evil antagonist with frightening ease and regularity.

I wish there was a couch sitting contest. I feel like I could win that.

I am also shielded by headphones to defend me from any assaults upon my productivity.

I have armed myself with piping hot coffee and am now ready to tackle this chapter.

Ah, the Jenga Bookstore. Where you must buy the right book - or else!

You're a genius. Why didn't I think of that?

Preferably while I'm having a drink or playing a video game.

I’m pretty sure I have an evil twin out in the world somewhere and he’s responsible for at least half of my problems.

My cat typed a sentence on my laptop today.

I don't know why they don't make it a law that anything created with AI has to have notice stating so. Like a warning label. Let the buyer then decide if they want it. Trying to pass it off on people unseen is an act of bad faith, like slipping bad ingredients into your meal.

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be descended from a Roman festival of drunken sex. Enjoy!

Why grieve for someone who might yet be realized?
