Good article about the upsides of publishing — something I don't talk about enough. http://t.co/r2pLfMx7 #
Left leg, arm, shoulder, face sporting gravel road rash. As usual, injured showing off for a girl. Worth it. #daughtersdigscars #
Pain comparison: bmx track faceplate vs. Slurpee brainfreeze. Winner: brainfreeze. Loser: mah head. #
That opening shot reminds me so much of the Primetime Adventures "Ironwall" game I ran a few years ago. https://t.co/8a0olQct #
"Money flows towards the writer." http://t.co/nuS80A3X #
I got the super deluxe LotRO Riders of Rohan preorder — mostly out of guilt for my continued absence. :P #
Email box is quiet, today. TOO quiet. #BEAbachelor #
Yesterday. Editor: OMG I HAVE GREAT NEWS. Me: THAT *IS* GREAT! Can I TELL people?!? Ed: *Goes to BEA.* Me: *Hates #BEA just a little.* #
RT @fredhicks: Spirit of the Century, now available on the kindle store: http://t.co/W4VbB1sW #
The Last of Us (Gameplay Video): http://t.co/Zne69B4T — Holy crap. I mean… holy CRAP. Any of you guys remember playing Pong? #
Charles de Lint on Hidden Things? Yeah, right… – http://t.co/lO5eybny — Still a bit stunned. Thank you, @cdelint! #
Dayjob's upgrade to Exchange 2003 (!) has cut off the flow of work-related emails to my phone. Can I fix this problem? Yes. Will I?… #
Daughter: *examines patina of biking-bruises on her legs* Me: Don't worry, you'll heal up much faster than me. Her: Yeah, you're WAY older. #
RT @naturallysteph Well, lookie what I found today! :-) http://t.co/GCMkFdSd – Some Hidden Things appear to have got into the wild. #
A good, if not happy, subject to consider. http://t.co/cZvgKwjf #
Hey Colorado Folken: If I say "Tattered Cover, Boulder Bookstore, Bookworm (Edwards), and Explore", are there any big CO indies I'm missing? #
RT @elquesogrande1: Elizabeth Bear (@matociquala) crushed her Reddit AMA! Writing, future works, desserts, and advice. http://t.co/OPPwGA85 #
Little man had zero interest in being dropped off at school this morning. Daddy leaving the room was Game of Thrones level betrayal. #
Father's Day IS coming up. RT @ebertchicago: You need a life-sized "Game of Thrones" iron throne. $30k plus shipping. http://t.co/lGVo4AeH #
RT @amber_benson: Oh, Ray Bradbury, without you I'd just be another Alabama housewife gazing up at the stars and wondering: "What if?" #
So, this GoodReads thing. Once signed up, I pretty much just spend ALL my time compulsively updating it, right? Because that FEELS accurate. #
It's raining like someone's trying to erase a mistake. #
Brain: That's… a LOT of allergy meds. Are you sure we want to–
Me: SHUT UP YOU.
Brain: … fine. See you in six hours.
Me: …wait, what? #
RT @warrenellis: It must be summer. The rain's warmer. #
I want to reskin that button now. RT @mslopatto: The command says "report as spam and delete" but I think of it as saying "die in a fire." #
Love me? Hate me? EITHER RESPONSE means you think I should own this: http://t.co/d64A7tfp #friendshipismagic #
The crazy rain last night literally stripped paint off my deck railing. Little (and not so little) white chips everywhere. #
Bought three pairs of shoes today. Clearly, I'm missing @DaphneUn. #
"Prometheus covers territory so well traversed, merchants have established souvenir shops." http://t.co/q8jIPz7o — ouch. #
Blind head/neck/back = SUPER productive day. Various tasks made a half-decent distraction. #
I had no idea there was a Denver version of ComicCon happening. What's going on next weekend… http://t.co/egRsIOYK #
Great list of "fight-scene" authors to check out. http://t.co/NpgPKvgq #
Anyone want to overnight a couple of these to me? http://t.co/V3BQffJp #solodad #
RT @DaphneUn: @doycet "It's not THAT bad, is it?" No, to be honest, these would be fine: http://t.co/wG93Vjf6 #
Oooh… Maybe blowgun tranq darts instead. We could make it a game! #
Things I don't need to #
"How and/or when did my Kindle end up in the dogs' water bowl?" #awesomeday #
Day ends with homemade shrimp pizza, well-fed children, and a favorite Disney movie. Also? Kindle still working. Pretty good day. #
Today reminded me of an important rule about stories; a good beginning and ending can help you past a LOT of crap in the middle. #
I mean, ideally? No crap in the middle. But ideally, my son doesn't drop my kindle in a water bowl and rub applesauce in his sister's hair. #
Hercules BARELY beat out John Carter for movie night. Daughter vetos JC because preview kept locking up: "they need to FIX stuff like that." #
There is not one part of this poster that isn't awesome. http://t.co/DNVf0Dsv #
