Airport thoughts:

I wish more people were interested in keeping their germs to themselves.

Also no chips are worth 6.99.

There’s not enough restaurants in this terminal.

Please don’t sit right next to me when there’s fifty seats available.

Why is it I can’t remember to take any photos during a party.

Party prep is a lot of carrying heavy things to one place to be cleaned and then carrying them to another place to dry and then moving them to their party location. I think the tables and chairs are partying harder than anyone who will attend.

Certain seasons make me think I want to revisit old favorite videogame titles because it’s the season when I first played them. That ever happen to anyone else? The heat of summer has bled away and it feels like 100hr rpg weather #gaming #seasons

Donuts and coffee are terrible for focus. What was I thinking? #baddecisions #writing #zoomies #food #coffee #sendmemes

You know it’s gonna be a fun editing session when your notes to yourself involve a puke emoji aimed at a specific paragraph.

Hi brain, it’s me. Do you think we could have some focus today, or are you too busy being a feral attack panda?

Feral attack panda it is…

Food coma noooo I have too much work to do.

Sometimes I get the zoomies as a writer while making coffee and improvise little songs to myself about going to imagination land and writing about grotesque alien machines which are metaphors for authoritarian cults of personality. So… thanks education in music. #writingcommunity #sciencefiction

Sometimes creating feels like you’re building with one atom at a time. Other times it feels like you’re leading a hundred person army. They both are progress. However excruciatingly slow. #writing #writingcommunity #creativity
