It's Friday - I'm calling it a weekend.
Enjoy yourself however you can. Sunday's the Super Bowl. If nothing else, join a watch party.

Goals are about process, not achievement.
Seems backward, right? But goal setting is not about whether or not you have something: It's about making yourself able to get what you want, when you want it.
And identifying what's holding you back.

"We aren't the aliens," Etham replied.
"How can you just... The DNA matches the third ghost signal perfectly!" Dughhe waved the data pad accusingly, "Kavee's ancestors and ours—"
"They're the enemy," Etham kept to the holo table. "We don't kneel. We kill them."

I've been spending way too much time reading about genetics for my scifi world building.
Don't misunderstand, I enjoy nerding out. I just have time management issues.

Maybe I should get involved in international debauchery and intrigue – After all, that seems to be the job requirement to be rich, famous, and powerful.
Meh. Who am I kidding? Even us drunken cartoons have standards.

I don't write to be rich (good news).
I don't write to be famous (who?).
I don't write to change people's lives (have you seen mine?).
I write because I want people to feel better having read what I wrote. The same way the stories I read did for me.

I know February is supposed to be for romantic love with Valentine's Day and all.
But for those that need it, you have your old pal QDouble's permission to love yourself... Especially if that involves getting yourself some chocolate.

Look upon the crime:
Long dead eyes forced Wide Awake
to greet a new day.
Vandal! Wretched slime!
Poor bones; What more will you take
plundering Earth's clay?!
Soothe me? Not this time.
Nature's rules are not to break.
Life will find a way.

Or have some days I don't want to write, and some nights where my brain won't stop writing scenes.
It's astounding to me that I can spend all morning agonizing over three short lines of cryptic prose in order to get it just right, but then blow through thousands of words just #writing scenes.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
When you write a scene with your character, are you the director overseeing their actions, or are you playing the part of one or more characters? Something else?
Does that change depending on the circumstances?

I know publishers prefer debut writers, but querying is going nowhere. And I'm getting antsy sitting on my work.
I'm seriously about to just pull the trigger and go indie.
If anyone has any advice, blog posts, etc. on it they want to share, I'm listening.

I know things like fighting or dancing aren't universal for every genre. But our psychical style, how our bodies move, speaks as loud as dialogue.
That's why I give every character their own technique—a physical voice to go with their speech style.

Seasonize your home. For Winter that means locking down for cold weather. But all seasons have house challenges.
That goes double if you're renting: The sooner your landlord is on notice, the sooner you (should) get action.
(Last #PSA on this. Back to writing posts tomorrow.)
