Writer, big picture person, Immunologist, science nerd. Novel nearing end of gestation. Laugh riot = learning what #jamf means. And it ain't a software company.

I'm so glad #PrinceHarry speaks out about this. For anyone to watch this painful video and to not offer empathy to #HarryandMeghan baffles me. The media is to blame. The British public is to blame. The establishment is to blame.

The last thing I did before starting work today was put the Imperial March over King Charles' entrance to Westminster Hall and OH MY GOD. SOUND UP.

@elonmusk Don't politicize innocent antibodies that protect us every day, all day. Immunology is beautiful.

@natbwrites Rant all you need. POTS is such a challenge and so unknown to most. You are a warrior!

Things writers do at parties:

-Judge people by their bookshelf
-Avoid talking about their writing
-Secretly want to talk about their writing
-Eavesdrop on conversations for dialogue inspirations
-Feel guilty because they should be writing
-Want to go home after ten minutes

I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There's no miracle people.

Ordered a decaf espresso frappuccino @Starbucks today. Pretty sure I got @natebargatze's ice milk concoction. Kept sipping hoping for coffee flavor. Love you Nate! Still love you Starbucks! Next time will be better😉

The Feynman-technique of learning:

> Pick a topic you wanna understand and start studying it
> Pretend to teach the topic to a classroom
> Go back to the books when you get stuck
> Simplify and use analogies!

• If you wanna master something, teach it. 🧠

@NatBWrites Check out Lower Bucks Creative Writers! They're a great critique group on meetup/facebook that gets together on zoom.

@Krenster @Popehat Yeah but nothing beats watching a cloud of bats fly over you on a gorgeous Gainsville night. Just sayin

@askanyone Write drunk and edit like hungover you hates previous drunk you.

[Sloane Crosley @askanyone]

A masochistic editing tip I like to give young writers is to imagine your work being read by the smartest person you know who does not like you.

Make the most of this summer. It’s an historic situation. Suddenly millions are vaccinated and loaded with peak antibodies. In the U.S., at least. There’s a certainty in the moment that I hope the past year, and the ongoing global crisis, reminds us not to take for granted.
