Feeling thankful today. When I sat down at my work station and went to clear my email buffer, I discovered Peter Clines's new blog post on fiction writing. If you write, his blog is great. Check it out: https://t.co/rjNmi4Cu1k

Advertisers aren’t happy with @Apple over of its proposed anti-tracking features, which is why @Mozilla is thanking Apple for committing to protecting consumers’ privacy.

Agree? Add your voice, tell Apple to “stay strong” against advertiser pressure: https://t.co/OUZfGRIvRo

Facebook Groups have become breeding grounds for disinformation campaigns and organizing platforms for extremists. Sign the @Mozilla petition telling @Facebook to pause Group recommendations until the election results are certified. https://t.co/QwX6jtuaDW #StopGroupRecs

@thekatsmews My sons were never diagnosed with ADHD but I was. What worked for me and my boys were: exercise, small goals and rewards for achieving them, and, I’m sad to say, sometimes a different instructor helps. Best wishes!

I’ve been smashing my writing goals but my output quality needs work. Good writing is re-writing, right?

@nealasher You have some of the best cover artwork and layout

[Justin S. E. Smith @OldHistorianhak]

@PeterClines @Solis_Books I love this book and that cover is slick too!

I want to know what everyone thinks about content creators who purposefully release limited numbers of their work? Some researchers will/have only release/ed their work in traditional and very expensive physical books. These books become scarce and difficult to access.

I have finally started writing regularly again. It’s been three weeks on point. It makes me happy being on track and running down dreams.

@AnneTibbets I once met the Tudor/Elizabethan historian Susan Doran during a stint at Oxford. I admit I was having a great time. Port was involved. I geeked out. “You’re amazing! I love your work...” Needless to say, it was too much. I’m sorry Dr Doran but you’re still awesome!

I was supposed to read tonight but watched StarTrek 2 The Wrath of Khan instead. All I hear now is “Khan!”
