Here's another post about the new day job and the horrible compulsion I feel to actually do the work. https://t.co/mdI7WaH1Ak

Change comes in like a whirlwind. It doesn't care how you feel. https://t.co/0KR4r9WIVH

For the first time in YEARS I'm actually going to a convention this weekend.
And would you believe it's with Christian? https://t.co/nAsRJpWeIV

What's the word for when you miss something that you're kind of glad is over anyway?
That's how I'm feeling about The Synthetic Albatross this month. https://t.co/yd3vDCC6Ag

I feel like I should have done a little more planning with the current Novella I'm writing.
Which is totally not the way I usually operate. https://t.co/4VF5AbW5rW

You get a post about writing this week (and routines and my obsession with them).
Is it because I'm struggling with my story for the anthology?
You can probably figure it out. You're a smart cookie. https://t.co/pfcYufEu7n

Why did I have a strange uptick in views and visitors over the last three weeks?
Why has it come to an end as suddenly as it began?
Could it possibly be something I wrote? https://t.co/EG1Zj8Cb4N

Have you heard the horror stories of AI coming for all the artists.
I have some thoughts about that. https://t.co/xAX4SS3VR5

I forgot how much it sucks to be sick. Which is kind of a good thing, except for the being sick part. https://t.co/RcIkMirrJm

What's your favourite fast food place? How long have you gone without it? https://t.co/7qmyBxtzzu

Another post this week about avoiding writing and the random things in my head.
There's some good nostalgia in there, though. https://t.co/QGMmXvNm9t

I kind of wanted to add something about this week's topic into last week's post, but it didn't fit. It works as it's own post, though! https://t.co/jtuY44G42c

Sometimes things that take effort are worth while. Sometimes simple things are harder than they should be.
Sometimes I struggle to find a topic for these posts but land on one that's not my usual thing but that I thing is worth reading. https://t.co/nDDPurZVEg

What new music have you been jamming to? Want a few suggestions? Here are three! https://t.co/2jgJIGYv7k

Something I already knew but seem to keep needing to rediscover, actually sitting down and working helps alleviate stress. https://t.co/dw5bOqQV1t

[Ben Van Dongen @Ben_VanD]

Here I go, getting ahead of myself again.
But how can I not when there's a potential for a new anthology for this year? https://t.co/IwdKTHS0C9

[Ben Van Dongen @Ben_VanD]

I've officially been posting weekly for ten years, now. A real milestone worth writing about! https://t.co/IoNTLeRpTN

[Ben Van Dongen @Ben_VanD]

The opening paragraph of this weeks post is a little more dour than intended.
Keep reading, it's not all a bummer. https://t.co/2j1Xzm2OgX

[Ben Van Dongen @Ben_VanD]

You've been waiting for it (I'm sure). This week, I look towards next year and make wild predictions that probably have no chance of coming true! https://t.co/O2dJTfVrlE
