@joncoopertweets Yes. Best cat I ever had. A proficient mouser and a cuddly boy. I miss him.

@DylanIsWriting Only if you want to make a living. If it's a passion project, spend as much time as you want getting it right.

@JohnG_Doyle I miss him too. This world is lesser without him.

It baffles me that people use the word "chemistry" to describe a certain je ne sais quoi of attraction.

Have you tried chemistry? It is the most sexless thing I can imagine. Lots of measuring and weighing things. Calculating enthalpy. Consulting tables. Phase diagrams. Moles.

@creator_grimm Ha, this one's easy, it means containing iron, as in: "The surface of Mars is red because it's irony."

@AmbientSynthy If you've ever been knocked over by a wave while in the ocean, you've been whelmed! (I certainly have.)

@VictoriaRosePhD After about 4 months of it sitting dormant after hiring an editor, I went back to my novel and started implementing changes to it today. The first forward progress in a long time - it feels good.

@DzintraSullivan Changing the world. I used to think I could make some contribution that would make the world a better place. Now I'm content to be a tourist.
