More a time for writing (and just in general)

Yes! Dark, short, cold days. No thanks.

I fear Nakamura isn't playing with the same excitement and enjoyment as some of the other candidates. It's hard to see him defeating Sindarov - though anything is possible I suppose.

Caruana is still monstrously strong.

Nakamura really needs a win today. Pulling for him.

Am I the only one who thinks basketball is dumb? And for that matter, all mega-money enterprises based on putting a ball in a hole?

I going to finish reading Isaka's The Mantis, this week. Not on the same level as Bullet Train, but still very, very good.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is about to get a PS5 VR update. I cannot wait. I CANNOT wait.

Man I really want a dog, but then I wonder if I'm a dog person. I know I'm a cat person. I don't know if I'm ready for this level of change.

Do you write well on Mondays? I don't. Are there days where your writing sucks?

Do you stay up later if you're on a roll, writing? Or is sleep the top priority?

Do you have a favorite food or drink for writing?

For me it's cold green tea and, if successful, reward chocolate. Shame chocolate for really bad days.

Absolutely - I try not to post about what I'm writing at all, honestly. I'd much prefer to make connections, meet people, etc. For some reason it feels harder and harder with all the self promotion

Sometimes I look at [some] writers' pages and it's just "here's my book" Copy/paste. Can get kind of boring.

Tired because on Sundays I settle in for Microsoft Flight Simulator - the official game of people who know what all the switches do on all the things

How much torpedo knowledge does Worf have? I'd love to hear a lecture by Worf on photon/quantum/plasma torpedoes. I'd watch three hours of just that.

Kirk winged it, Picard negotiated it, Janeway solved it, Sisko armed photon torpedoes and don't give him that look he had no other options, Old Man!

Don't worry, "writers" that use AI to prompt content have to decide what goes in their drafts. Tough to do if you're creatively bereft.
