Forget Imposter Syndrome. Be you. All the you that you could ever be. Just you. #ThoughtForTheDay #thoughts #thoughtoftheday #quotes (Unless you can be Batman – Then always be Batman.)

I always saw setting healthy boundaries as the difference between growing upwards rather than getting overstretched outwards. But self preservation works too. #memes

Maybe I need to broaden my horizons (more to-read books? ALWAYS!), but I can't remember the last adventure I read where the MC didn't just loot/tech max to success. So now I have to plot a story about winning with wit and grit. #writerslife #Memes #WritingCommunity #amwriting

"What's wrong with you Greg‽" Sarah channeled as much energy as she could into her staff. "Let's not dead name each other, GoldieRox," the dark knight advanced, "The name is WrathNote." "You're hurting people!" "You can't #conquer a world without breaking skulls." #vss365

Truth is stranger than fiction. Like the time a Louisiana undertaker quit his job after seeing a Dogman stalk a woman's ghost across the graveyard, while a hovering UFO watched the scene. Me? I can't mix & match all that in one story. But life doesn't fit into neat categories.

I appreciate the support of my fans while writing. #writerslife #Memes #WritingCommunity #amwriting #jokes (Especially now that I write on a screen instead of papers that can blow away.)

"What the Hell are you trying to #pull?" John took a pull of his drink through his helmet's permeable intake before responding through the internal mic. "You got what you ordered, Cyrus," John's smile crept into his voice. "A contract's a contract. Isn't that right?" #vss365

"Did you two enjoy my #gift?" "That's how you use magic?" Phoebe accused. "You're abusing your powers Karen." "Ebonthorn, my dear Serenity. We don't use the shackle-names unless we're among modernites." "I don't care!" Phoebe stared her down. "Let Derrick go, now!" #vss365

I gave you caffeine. I gave you sugar. We had a deal! #memes #writerslife

Today is Donald Duck Day. I don't know if any of my characters would ever get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, or host the Oscars, but it's fun to think about. And I always liked Donald. Powering through adversity. Being a single Dad to his three nephews.

They say the heart wants what the heart wants. I guess that's true of other organs too. Because it's working so far. #memes #writerslife

"But just... How is this working so well‽" "People are #primitive Hextur," Sulliven smiled at the screen. "They forget that where there's smoke, there's a smoke machine. Blow enough, and the idiots choke the streets. And it's how we'll smoke out your little princess." #vss365

"You really came through for us, Vathan." "I never go back on a deal, Cherye." "But, won't this cause a #rift between you and the other Chaos gods? "Not all Chaos is entropy. I deal in the unexpected. Like our two love birds overcoming a meddling Nether demon horde." #vss365

"How's training going?" "Same as ever," Mark pointed to the dimly lit console in the far corner. "How's some computer going to ask if I'm a robot?" Dave groused as he typed, "You're the mother $#@%ing robot!" "I appreciate your #diligence," Sam grimaced. "Keep at it." #vss365

I don't think this is literally true, but is seems like it's always true... at least at my get-togethers. #memes #writerslife

Higher entities forcing ascension on a poor soul, with no guidance just to see what would happen... IMHO, it's all the more reason to have X-COM on speed dial. The challenge prompts were: 1. Beyond 2. On The Nose 3. Misfit #scifi #ScifaikuSaturday #poetry #vss365 #OurPoetryX

"Light shine on me," Caleb prayed. "Show me your way." With gentle suddenness, a #moonbeam shaft pierced the ceiling, dispelling the darkness. Once again, the Moon Goddess called to his father's elven blood. Caleb focused instead on a way out—there! A path leading up. #vss365

"You think it'll fix it?" Paul asked. "No," Greg took a pull from his mug. "The guy got #lightening in a bottle tapping some fad." "So, the point of this is?" "He collects $500K a pop consulting fees – At least until the industry figures out he doesn't know anything." #vss365

"Any #word on what set the riot off?" "A HyperNet rumor about a secret stockpile of EverMeals." Rix swore. "It gets worse," Xane watched the news vidfeed, "The Pacitors didn't get there until the aquaponics hub got torched. So the food ration's going down... Again." #vss365
