Started a work out routine today to supplement riding my bike. Mostly because I'm over 40 and my regular day to day is wearing me down more than it used to. And I don't want to have to take Advil every day just to be able to go to work. So I did two circuits of 4 push ups 10 squats 30 second plank

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Looking at alternative avenues of publication for my short stories. But until I get that figured out, you can still get my story, "In God's Own Image," included in the 2017 Stoker winner for an anthology, for the low price of a buck. a.co/d/0eWSDSvE

It seems like so much divides us these days. But I know there's one thing that all Americans--nay, all human beings--can agree on: Weird Al deserves to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm seeing a lot of posts referring to pushback against writers plugging their work and the subsequent pushback to the pushback. I can only assume that all of this kerfuffle is because of the one post I wrote yesterday, plugging my newest story. Please. I'm not worth all this...

Received a rejection today. But it doesn't change the work. I planned to edit my new story today, so that's what I'm doing. No matter what, the story still needs to be written. #amwriting

It's always a strange thing, when I write the last line of a story that I didn't expect, and the story says, "This is it. You're done." Going to let it marinate for a day then come back for edits. #amwriting

New short story is going well. Had another bolt of inspiration about it this morning. Ping-ponged around the house until my wife was done with her meeting and I could get into the office to my computer. I love when a story just sings. #amwriting

Today, on my bike ride, I cut through a small wooded area and scattered some wildlife: one rabbit, one squirrel, one robin, and one cardinal. I feel like I rode through a storybook peace summit or something.

I've had a story idea kicking around in my head for a couple days now. Tonight, on my way home from work, a title and main character name came to me in a bolt of inspiration. I may have exceeded a speed limit or two to get home to start writing the story. #amwriting

This morning, I woke up and rushed for my notebook. Last night, as I fell asleep and while I was dreaming, I was mulling over moments and ideas for chapter 3 and ended up in chapter 8. I feel like I'm writing this entire book at once. #writing

As a writer, you don't get to choose what you'll be known or remembered for. That's why it's important to treat every poem, story, and script with the same loving attention to craft. So anyway, my Google maps review of The Carpet Guys surpassed 5000 views today.

In a bizarre example of pointless capitalism, hints and fast pencils for the Sudoku game I play cost twice as much as they did when I started playing earlier this year.
