Writer problems - being able to search the internet for answers to our questions is both the bane of our existence and a boon that aids us.
Example:
Random thought "How many bees can fit inside a human body?" This intrusive thought has now sent me down a sipral.

We become accustomed to the pain of the past, and that pain becomes our comfort.

Here's a hot take. You can have empathy and care for others yet still think they are inherently wrong.

I've written millions, maybe billions of words in my life, and that number still doesn't hold a candle to the words I haven't said.

Enjoying Onyx Storm finally. Almost halfway through. The book arrived right before my cross-country journey and flight back.

Currently prepping to drive from Los Angeles to Nyc. I love this journey but not this time of year. Hoping that the weather is kind

So this year has already been off to a rocky start in beautiful Southern California. The wildfires rage on and thousands lost their homes and are displaced. For my small mountain community we have had more days without power than with. This state certainly has some infrastructure issues to work out.

America; for a country founded on rebellion specifically, has a real issue with people being rebellious.

Working on some rules for myself in 2025.
1. If I'm working on something STFU until it's finished. Work in silence.
I have expended so much energy trying to split my focus and market things before I finish them to keep relevant that it slowed my progress in the past. Nose to the grindstone in 2025

Meta is currently experiencing a massive outages (hack?). Something of this nature makes me wonder what the end goal is if someone is behind it. If they are attempting to get data, what does that mean for its users?

It's quite depressing, the more I understand the world and how people interact with each other in it; the less I want to be apart of it.

I tend to split my focus between two large projects. I work on one until it's done. Then when I need a break I rotate to something else so when I return I have fresh eyes. Can't wait to return to Alexander Hatt in the new year.

There are so many days I wish i could remember better, and so many days I wish never happened.

So lately, I've been enjoying Taylor Sheridans shows and writing. The dialog feels authentic and is so well done. Last time, I enjoyed dialog like this in shows they were written by Aaron Sorkin.

Is it just me or does Bluesky feel like a party that you have arrived entirely too early for? As if it's just you and 3 or 4 people you don't really know loitering around not knowing what to do with themselves.

Lets talk books. Post up a book that you enjoyed that you don't know of anyone else reading.

One of the greatest pitfalls of the digital landscape we have cultivated over the past 30 years or so is this concept of not giving voice to voices that we disagree with. The problem with this is that we only make peace with our enemies. We can only gain perspective from those with other viewpoints.

SILO based on the books by Hugh Howey is such an interesting adaptation of the books. The first season was full of paranoia, distrust, and really a masterclass on world introduction. Season 2 starts off, and we feel like we know nothing despite the introduction. Now the pain of having to be patient.

Finally getting around to finishing Attack on Titan. I don't think I've ever disliked an opening theme more. Also supernatural flesh mechs in a fantasy setting is a unique choice.
