- @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 #

- @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. #

- @DarrenHumphries I thought Canada always had snow #americansthinkcanadaisminnesota in reply to DarrenHumphries #
- @adverb What’s wrong with that? in reply to adverb #

- 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. #
- OMG, I’m the John Rambo of #NaNoWriMo, still fighting the war long after everyone else went home. #amwriting #mguwc #
- 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 #

- @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 #
