  • @jkendrick Not at all, but tak­ing it to a mechanic with a hockey mask and a chain­saw was ques­tion­able. in reply to jkendrick #
  • @michelle­jnor­ton But at least you can call it a writ­ing injury, right? in reply to michelle­jnor­ton #
  • @AfrimKa­caj Keep going! The tobacco is teh debil. in reply to AfrimKa­caj #
  • @jkendrick Well, you can’t argue with that. I mean lit­er­ally. You can’t. in reply to jkendrick #
  • @jchutchins Jim Stein­man songs’ll do that. in reply to jchutchins #
  • @jkendrick Dude, you live in Texas. If you’d shown up in a hockey mask they would have shot you on sight, no ques­tions asked. in reply to jkendrick #
  • @Alli_​Flowers meep! in reply to Alli_​Flowers #
  • @jchutchins That was my favorite line in my first novel, when Satan meets my pro­tag. I’m callin’ it Fair Use. in reply to jchutchins #
  • Not entirely sure why, but I get the impres­sion that @jchutchins is lis­ten­ing to some pretty good music this morn­ing. #

  • @PhilNick­in­son Ooh, that’s a bad sign. in reply to PhilNick­in­son #
  • RT @dceiver: So we bombed the moon and took their water? THE V’S ARE WE! #
  • iPhone or Droid http://xkcd.com/662/ #
  • @ChrisLeck­ness Funny as xkcd is, I don’t have that prob­lem. I’m jail­bro­ken, so I install what I want on my iPhone. in reply to ChrisLeck­ness #
  • @crimsonsky76 Real­iz­ing it is one thing. Inter­nal­iz­ing it, act­ing on it, that’s some­thing else. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @Alli_​Flowers As I pointed out ear­lier, the xkcd droid/​iPhone argu­ment doesn’t apply to us jail­break­ers in reply to Alli_​Flowers #
  • @crimsonsky76 Because some of those read only files are also marked as sys­tem files, which requires another ver­i­fi­ca­tion. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @crimsonsky76 They have food? in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • 360 words today. Eh, it’s a start. Expect to be snowed in much of the week­end, so I should be able to catch up. #nanow­rimo #mguwc #
  • At 22423 now, shoot­ing for 32000 by the end of the week­end. And in the spirit of #mguwc, I haven’t had a sin­gle day with zero word count. #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard The Max­i­mum Geek Ulti­mate Writ­ing Chal­lenge is about writ­ing some­thing every sin­gle day. How much is up to you. in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard For the wid­gets on maximumgeek.org, we were think­ing three brack­ets: 500/​day, 1k/​day, 2k/​day in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard I’m doing 7 books in a row, and then two more after Drag­onCon. Need to make 2k words/​day auto­matic. #mguwc in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard I am unfor­tu­nately unable to think any way but BIG. Short sto­ries are alien to me. in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • Daily Magic http://bit.ly/43CZlm #
  • New Page Up http://bit.ly/T5JfP #
  • 5 words today, and I have proven that if one has sleep apnea decid­ing that one really doesn’t need the CPAP is a stu­pid ideazzzzzz #
  • @nyne­shaydee It’s a typo. He looks more like Rick Mora­nis. in reply to nyne­shaydee #
  • @mbranesf Maybe thyme is on her side (yes it is) in reply to mbranesf #
  • @KateSh­er­rod That must be fun. @mike­cane blocked me a long time ago. in reply to KateSh­er­rod #
  • @KateSh­er­rod I kill­filed him back in 06 because of his neg­a­tiv­ity towards #NaNoW­riMo, so he’s bannedme ever since. Seems he holds a grudge. in reply to KateSh­er­rod #
  • What the deuce just hap­pened? #Bron­cos #
  • Must watch Bron­cos game, then #amwrit­ing. I get to watch Colts/​Pats tonight if I get at least 2500 words. #nanow­rimo #mguwc #
  • #not­thatthere­sany­thing­wrong­with­that RT @Gartenberg: Twit­ter angst #first­world­problems #
  • RT @delrayser: We have an alpaca down. I repeat, WE HAVE AN ALPACA DOWN. http://twitpic.com/pnh9i #
  • Bucket of Colonel’s also works RT @mightymur: The net is mys­te­ri­ously back. I guess that chicken I killed worked. Back to blog­ging! #
  • It’s a good thing the Bron­cos don’t have actu­ally go 80 yards for a drive in this game. #
  • Exactly! RT @denverbroncos: With Simms in at QB, Tyler Polum­bus is now the tackle pro­tect­ing the blind­side. #
  • @tara­cathryn w00t, about to do the same thing myself. Still don’t “feel like” writ­ing, but I gotta get back on track. in reply to tara­cathryn #
  • @jupiter_​star I’m amazed your hands haven’t just fallen off by now. in reply to jupiter_​star #
  • 188 words so far, slowly build­ing momen­tum. #amwrit­ing #nanow­rimo #mguwc #
  • @nyne­shaydee Thanks! in reply to nyne­shaydee #
  • Typ­ing much eas­ier now that I’ve clipped my fin­ger­nails. You wouldn’t think 2mm nails would impede typ­ing, but they do. #
