Enjoying the new job and the one hour lunch break that gives me enough lunch time to go to the gym, freeing my nights to write-when I'm not going to my second job, anyway.

Got told by someone who worked at Tor as a copy editor that my first couple chapters where 'fantastic'. Not I just have to keep that up. (Currently on chapter 16 on my developmental edit round 3) No pressure or anything...

Dear Gods, why does Microsoft make it so infuriatingly hard to choose what folder I want to save an Excel sheet in. Why are you like this? #microsoft #excel #wth

The line between a 'quick and easy change' and 're-write the whole thing' is really-really thin.

I see that on a bottle of vodka. Well yes it is but I thought that was obvious. It probably didn't contain motor oil either.

That moment when the 5k word short "comic book" story you wrote attracts more attention from a writing group than the story you've spent a year on... (comic book in quotes because it's not a comic book, I can't draw)

Kinda weird how everything I write starts off as a comedy then gets edited into noir with a bit of humor.

I want to have a scene where my POV character visits the surgeon to get her stitches fixed after some ill-advised parkour. But that would relieve some of the tension that I need to keep going until she blows up later. Sorry Morris, you're still just a background character...

I started reading it right after watching Maltese Falcon. But I also like Garrett as a protagonist and is probably one of the initial inspirations for the story I'm working on now.

Nine Princes in Amber is hard to pin down. It's basically a family that lives at center of reality (everything else is a shadow of that reality) fighting for who gets to be in charge after their father dies. Then there's some other minor stuff like one of the brothers trying to remake the universe.
