I can be my own worse enemy.
And why should I work that hard, when there is no shortage of volunteers for the position?
( …although, sometime normal is overrated… )

My theory of writing
I’ve had a theory for a while that there are strong characters, strong plot, and strong writing, and you can get by on having any two out of those three. Having all three is ideal, of course, but I’ve enjoyed books that only had two.
An alternate timeline
I’m glad the human-wolf partnership worked out so well.
Can you imagine how much different life would be today if humans had taken a liking to the snake that slithered up closer to the campfire?
Your cheerful thought of the day
We entered Standard Time at the earliest possible date (November 1) and leave it at the latest possible date (next March 14).

Hurting yourself? Don’t.
Hurting yourself seems so redundant in a world fraught with opportunities intended to hurt you, or just hurting you casually, as incidental damage.

I pride myself on making fresh shiny new mistakes.
I hate making the same mistake twice when there are so many mistakes I haven’t tried yet.
There’s nothing more precious than time
Remember this, if you can. There is nothing more precious than time. You probably feel you have a measureless supply of it, but you have not. Wasted hours destroy your life just as surely at the beginning as at the end, only in the end it becomes more obvious.
