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.

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?

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

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.
