  • @crimsonsky76 I don’t know. I didn’t know Batarel would show up with Lou until the day before I wrote it. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @crimsonsky76 The angels are a lit­tle dif­fer­ent this time around. Uriel will become a sym­pa­thetic char­ac­ter in Cru­sade, but not too soon. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • “The Howl­ing” really shows its age 28 years later. The ana­log world is alien to me now. #

  • @emokid­sloveme I keep wish­ing she’d just vamp out and get it over with. in reply to emokid­sloveme #

  • @Nofrendo Happy birth­day any­way! in reply to Nofrendo #
  • @seth­clif­ford It means I’m back to Ever­note, much as I like Drop­box. I have to have some­thing that works where I spend half my wak­ing hours. in reply to seth­clif­ford #
  • @seth­clif­ford The only thing I can find to make Drop­box work is to install a sec­ond proxy between it an the cor­po­rate one. Too much work. in reply to seth­clif­ford #
  • Yes, there will be a blog post today. Just as soon as my brain shows up. #mon­day #

  • @jkendrick This com­pli­cates sooper seekrit project. In a good way, methinks. But com­pli­cates. in reply to jkendrick #
  • ;) RT @jkendrick: Scoop: Apple going 2 pro­duce a tablet that has a slot 4 an iPhone. Sold tgthr, 2 data plans needed. Launch on Cricket 1st. #
  • RT @FakeAPStylebook: Con­trary to gram­mat­i­cal cor­rect­ness, “drunk­en­ness” is actu­ally spelled “druh­n­jk­wen­nessd ohamy­gods ims o w awssted.” #

  • Makes as much sense as out­law­ing gay mar­riage! RT @van­sun­der A move­ment is under­way to out­law divorce in Cal­i­for­nia. http://bit.ly/7ztNgO #
  • @djohngo They didn’t invent it, but they were the first state to allow divorces to be per­formed on while on surf­boards. in reply to djohngo #

  • Yay, haz 111 words writ­ten. Shut up, it’s a start. #amwrit­ing #mguwc #
  • Plus, the next scene has lots of wan­ton car­nage. Or won­ton car­nage. Depends if it spills over into the Chi­nese restau­rant. #amwrit­ing #
  • @crimsonsky76 Well, then that’s all the inter­nets you need. Starv­ing chil­dren in China only have 1xRTT! in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @crimsonsky76 Back in my day, we had to get all our ones and zeros in the mail! And some­times the enve­lope leaked and all the ones got out! in reply to crimsonsky76 #

  • @NotZura @crimsonsky76 was an active par­tic­i­pant in the dis­cus­sion forum for Writ­ing On Your Palm back in the day. in reply to NotZura #
  • @crimsonsky76 Or, as my 27 year old boss puts it, “imma­ture.” in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @crimsonsky76 @NotZura Good peo­ple are good peo­ple, pol­i­tics and com­puter plat­forms aside. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @crimsonsky76 There’s always *books*, you know… in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @rolan­drsr W00t! How was the trip? in reply to rolan­drsr #

  • @ryanesteven­son Oh yes, it’s def­i­nitely one of THOSE days in reply to ryanesteven­son #
  • Here’s a rad­i­cal idea. Don’t be greedy bas­tards and your employ­ees won’t feel com­pelled to do this. http://bit.ly/6wjWm6 #
  • Now that #nanow­rimo is over and I’m still writ­ing, the full weight of #mguwc is start­ing to sink in. Good lord, I really am crazy #amwrit­ing #
  • @kdaleau­thor Er, thanks, I think. in reply to kdaleau­thor #

  • @jkendrick You’re killin’ me, James. I’m sans Chipo­tle this week since I have to buy con­tacts. #
  • Just got my first look at sooper seekrit project. Mak­ing happy noises. #
  • You know all that pro­duc­tiv­ity I lost yes­ter­day? I seem to be on pace to more than make up for it today. #
  • @jkendrick The bur­rito, it calls to me. in reply to jkendrick #
  • Seekrit project: built. Pants: on. Words of fic­tion today: 0. Clearly, even though I can’t really afford it, there is Chipo­tle in my future. #
  • Wow, Bishop and Delenn are in NCIS tonight. #
  • @niassa Not even watch­ing the show, that’s pretty impres­sive! Major geek cred. in reply to niassa #
  • Will be down scope until I get my 2k words today, Twit­ter. Don’t do any­thing inter­est­ing while I’m gone. #
  • Oh, and in other news, I frig­gin’ HATE snow. #
  • @Dar­ren­Humphries I thought Canada always had snow #amer­i­cans­thinkcanadais­min­nesota in reply to Dar­ren­Humphries #
  • @adverb What’s wrong with that? in reply to adverb #
  • THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS! #

  • @michael­spence It’s almost crim­i­nal how bad the typog­ra­phy is with most ereader’s default set­tings. in reply to michael­spence #
  • @robotech_​master Don’t make me come over there. in reply to robotech_​master #
  • @crimsonsky76 Jus­ti­fi­ca­tion is ridicu­lously sen­si­tive to line length and hyphen­ation. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • 883 words so far today on Rev­e­la­tion. Shouldn’t be too hard to hit 2k today and record a new @maxgeek tonight. #amwrit­ing #mguwc #
  • @MaxGeek Epic series FTW in reply to MaxGeek #
  • @MaxGeek You sure you’re up for that? This key­board made the Kessel Run in 3.6 par­secs. #mguwc in reply to MaxGeek #
  • @MaxGeek Very well, sir, I answer your chal­lenge. Cru­sade vs first book of Pan­theons, first to 80k wins! #mguwc in reply to MaxGeek #
  • @MaxGeek And since I’m crim­i­nally insane, I’ll do my 80k while also blog­ging and editing/​podcasting Rev­e­la­tion! #mguwc in reply to MaxGeek #
  • BTW, if you fol­low me and don’t fol­low @maxgeek, you really should. Josh just chal­lenged me to an 80k word war with our next books. #mguwc #
  • @julioan­gelor­tiz In in a bit of a zone today. in reply to julioan­gelor­tiz #

  • @hum­ble­fool It may be too cold for me to drive home. My car doesn’t like the cold weather. in reply to hum­ble­fool #
  • Just fin­ished out­lin­ing the rest of Rev­e­la­tion. Fin­ished draft should come to almost exactly 80k words. No idea how I did that. #amwrit­ing #
  • My head is about to explode from all the awe­some. That said, real life is really eat­ing into my writ­ing time today. #
  • In the next 9 months, I’m either going to break through into new lev­els of awe­some, or wind up bro­ken and gib­ber­ing in the local loony bin. #
  • @seth­clif­ford Well, yeah, I’ve done the lat­ter. in reply to seth­clif­ford #
  • BTW, I know I’ve been really quiet on the Twit­ter recently. You’ll all see why on Mon­day. #whyyesthati­s­ablatant­tease #
  • So behind on word­count because of seekrit project awe­some that I have to skip the NaNo TGIO party. I haz a sad. But for me, it’s not over. #

  • At least I’ll get to see a lot of my nanofriends (tiny friends?) at cri­tique group tomor­row. #amwrit­ing #mguwc #
  • Oh, and this com­ing week #mguwc will get a lot more inter­est­ing, as I have a chal­lenger dumb enough to take on a project as big as mine. #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard Does that mean we have to GO com­mando? Cause I’m in pub­lic right now and could get arrested. in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @David737 Sorry I missed the meet­ing. The demands of writ­ing 7 nov­els in 10 months are… con­sid­er­able. in reply to David737 #
  • @kdaleau­thor Slid off 225 onramp en route to meet­ing. Will see y’all when weather is not insane. in reply to kdaleau­thor #
  • @Alli_​Flowers Wow. #saints in reply to Alli_​Flowers #
  • @Philip­pa­Jane A wal­let? in reply to Philip­pa­Jane #
  • Will #saints score in 28 secs to pre­vent OT? #
  • Hold­ing really shoud be 5 yards instead of 10 #saints #
  • Jim Zorn looks like some­one just kicked his dog. #
  • @mike­cane News­flash: a lot of peo­ple are stu­pid. in reply to mike­cane #
  • @kdaleau­thor rim bent a bit, but I’m okay! in reply to kdaleau­thor #
  • If the Colts and Saints each win 6 more games with­out a loss, we’ll have two unbeat­ens in the Super­Bowl. Any rea­son they can’t do it? #nfl #
  • I love that I’ve got­ten peo­ple to think about typog­ra­phy and how vital it is to read­ing. Now please stop yelling at me. kthxbai #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard I love the Bron­cos, and they have shown moments of genius this sea­son, but I have no illu­sions that they’ll beat the Colts. in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @julioan­gelor­tiz Watch­ing the Colts beat the Pats a while back and Saints find a way in DC today, I just don’t know. in reply to julioan­gelor­tiz #
  • @rcartwright My 27 year old boss has never seen Ghost­busters. I don’t under­stand these kids today. in reply to rcartwright #
  • @Eclip­sante I just got called out on my own web­site by Tim O’Reilly (hi Tim!). I know typog­ra­phy is per­sonal, but geez. in reply to Eclip­sante #
  • Holy crap it’s loud in Ari­zona. When did the Car­di­nals get fans? #nfl #
