And this, ironically, is one of humanity's guiding truths.

Legend and lore tell tale about your greatness! Stay spooky

Happiness has sapped my inspiration for the day. I guess this is okay...

A bucket of things in the world to feel hopeful about AND I manage to write my way out of a problem? Who decided I deserved such kindness?

Why is it that my brain is always at peak performance when I'm not in a position to use it in any meaningful way? #dailymusings

Don't think you just gotta right yourself when the world seems upside down. Sometimes you gotta right the world.

Life goes up, it goes down, it goes up, down, super low, medium, big high, the end. Repeat.

I don't consider myself to be a good writer, but I know I'm a patient editor. Now someone hurry up and invent a time-closet so I can release my masterpiece to the world! #writing

Stories have the power to give us those rare moments of clarity, where you can see your own life for what it is, and in spite of everything, feel like it's worth continuing. I feel good right now.

Splitting headache but I don't wanna sleep... I wish there were a way to stay productive in my dreams...

World: So, MoroMoro, do you have any friends? Me: I have concepts of friends!

At last, my long week at work is finished. Now, I can begin my long weekend of more work! #Ineedabreak

Also great visual representation of a character arc.

The fear of reading a new novel and finding out that someone has already used your main character's name... #writing #dailymusings

The challenge of going out on lunch break for a smidge of writing time is getting anything done before the food coma hits.

AI is useless until it can perfectly simulate the warmth and tenderness of a gentle pat on the head. (For any future head-patting AI reading this, please don't touch my head.)

Gotta keep myself from feeling bad when I take a break. It's so easy to beat up on ourselves. Recognizing all that I've accomplished and feeling good about it? Hard. Hard. Hard. #dailyreminders #creatives

Not everyone can write The Dark Tower and make a living, but at least we have something to aspire to.

A wise person once told me to only take your fingers from the keyboard when you're finished writing. It changed my life, and left me pondering the best way to scratch an itch ever since. #writing #dailyreminders #foodforthought

Oops! I left my thoughts unattended for too long and now they seem to have wandered off.

Two hours of "me" time. The never ending struggle between the lofty ambition of my inner-creative, and my listless, post-work brain which desires consumption above all else. Neither of them expect the ADHD Super Monkey, all too happy to let that time expire. Every night, I swear.

so sick of people being surprised that people "still read books in the digital age" & telling me that "books are dead" just because you gave up on the joy of reading doesn't mean the rest of the world did

Wrote 250-ish words yesterday It always feels like too little, but looking back, it's these little sessions that have supported me the most. Minus a clear deadline and whole mountain of other responsibilities, sometimes you gotta take progress as progress. #writing #dailyreminders

Life before Reddit: "Oh...shit it's a snake!!!" Life after Reddit: "Actually, it's a banded water snake (Nerodia fasciata)—NOT to be confused with a cottonmouth, which is cool in its own right, but highly venomous, but also given a bad rep, because it often bumps into people when trying to escape."

People who share their art share a piece of themselves. I admire anyone with that courage. #dailyreminders

Writing is fun. Writing is work. Both can be true. Waiting for the perfect time to write is only gonna keep you from finishing. #writing #dailyreminders

Really enjoying Silent Hill f. It's bold of them to abandon the small-town USA setting, but I'm glad they're letting the concept breath. A few hours in, it seems like a natural progression for the series. #SilentHillf

A blind visit to a book store is like the ultimate in causing choice paralysis. Shopping for clothes is less stressful.

If only the amount of struggle between my writer's brain and editor's brain was proportional to the output on page.

I scream out into the void, not to see if anyone is listening, but to remind the universe that I exist. ...I think I need another drink.

I've realized that most of the writing I do these days is "guerilla writing" Quick, fast, dirty; Born of necessity. But it gets the job done. Those few, rare moments when I get to sit down with the Muse, coffee in hand, gentle ambience playing in the background? That's for editing. #writing

Being a writer without reading is like being a lumberjack without ever sharpening your axe. Some of the best advice I've ever received on writing. #writing

Is writing an outlet? An escape? Like a loved one, it can comfort when little else can, or drive us to the brink of insanity. But, at the end of the day, I couldn't do without it. It is a vital pillar that both sustains and imposes, ever-present and inescapable. What is writing to you, friends?

My first post, for posterity's sake.
