This article tries to use 'young' and 'attractive' interchangeably. I look younger than I am, but that's never gotten me a job. But you know what? Maybe we just consider people for their skills and not their looks for most employment opportunities. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Enjoying warching the snow fall outside, but fully aware this is my last day off. Tomorrow, we write again.

Is it a secret or a lie before it becomes the truth?

I have zero interest in being a professional comedian. So why did I come up with a ten-minute set in the shower this morning? I guess one of my future characters will have to be funny.

Not to compliment scammers targeting writers, but this whole new wave of "let us feature your book in our book club" racket does provide a tiny moment of delight.

If I could train myself to work after 6pm, I could rule the writing world.

Uh-huh. I feel that.

Hmm... Freecash just went from a tolerable 5% cashout fee to a 5% + $1 cash out fee. What's the point of cashing out now that half of it goes to not me?

This morning's anxiety soothed with a single fun size Snickers. I'll have to remember that trick.

What do you see when you look outside your window? What does it say to you? terrideno.medium.com/40-days-of-l...

It takes a wall of glass in cramped spaces to discover the depth of field within a strong composition. Still a dream within a dream, exposing yourself and your subject to the moments that are tricky in low light, tricky to handhold. #poetry books2read.com/NY09

Finally, it's the temperature outside where I can enjoy my hot coffee the most. And it's a nice kick to get some afternoon writing out of the way.

I have a list of a dozen new projects I want to start. Someone hold me back.

Cleaned up some files on the computer. What types of writing do I leave half-finished? Mostly non-fiction and personal essays. And that one story I started writing, left no notes after a page and a half, and have no idea where I was going with it. I can't even remember writing it, tbh.
