If my wave function series ever makes it big, I’ll auction off my copy of this book for charity so people and try to read my chicken scratch handwriting

“Now” Means Nothing subheading from the book. It discusses how perceiving reality requires some passage of time, which means the concept “now” cant be definite. I have scribbled a note for a character’s monologue. It says, He argues they arent real to him because they do not exist at the same time.

This book rules

The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli

We are familiar with this as well

Saoirse, a red tri australian shepherd dog, resting and wearing a tiny pineapple hat. She is staring at the camera like it is a portal into the fathomless chasm where her self respect tumbled down, down, down.

This work car made my youngest laugh for about five minutes straight

A very small car, literally a two seater, with a ladder nicely strapped to the roof. It is parked on a street in Brooklyn.

Ah the classics

Magnum PI in scandalously short shorts and a low buttoned Hawaiian shirt, tucked into the scandalously short shorts. Jessica Fletcher is in a very classy all white suit combo and pearl earrings. They are walking on a beach in Hawaii during a great crossover episode.

The kids and I paid a visit to a professional kitty we saw in the window

A grouchy grey striped bodega cat walking away as I take a photo.

Excerpt from the article that says, President Donald Trump said this week he has "no idea" how McConnell is doing and hasn't spoken to him.

Hey I found a marked up early draft of The Control Problem (with the original title). More context in Alt Text

Excerpt from an early draft of my third book. It is page 52 of a draft titled Pennywhistle. I have added a temporary news story at the top, which became my chapter headings. I had changed from doing Parts into Chapters here. This is a scene that establishes the backstory, and I made lots of notes trying to get the right balance of information revealed and withheld.

One of my kids came home from a day camp and announced a teenage camp counselor brought a fun boardgame with them. It was a game I know quite well

The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 board game. It is based on John Carpenter's The Thing.|

A young William Shatner in Twilight Zone episode, Nightmare at 10,000 feet. He is looking out a rain streaked airplane window in growing concern.

Saoirse, a medium sized dog, out for a walk a few weeks ago. She is looking at me with joy as if she just heard about this product.

And a weird big guy

Norah Woodsey@norahwoodsey· Jul 7

Saw an assortment of weird little guys

A huge goat perched on a five foot tall tree stump. It’s unclear what he is doing up there. He is in it for the love of the game.

A different goat, smaller, perched on a bump on the side of a tree. It looks precarious and pointless but the goat is unconcerned with our judgement.

A red panda in a tree, looking at the camera holder, slightly glaring and composing the nextdoor message as it stares at us.

i dont need vibe coded software to prove i write my books, i can stream myself crying while writing

Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone. She is a frumpy novelist, in her flannel pjs and noise cancelling headphones, sobbing as she writes the perfect ending.

Norah Woodsey@norahwoodsey· Jul 2

Mmmm yes. (Spoilers, watch the episode if you haven’t/don’t remember it)

Quote from the episode, spoken by the wife of the main character. “It doesn't matter whether it can foretell the future. What matters is whether you believe more in luck and in fortune than you do in yourself. You can decide your own life. You have a mind, a wonderful mind. Don't destroy it trying to justify that cheap penny fortune machine to yourself. We can have a wonderful life together... if we make it wonderful ourselves. I don't want to know what's going to happen. I want us to make it happen together.”

Watching Twilight Zone and had an observation

Norah Woodsey@norahwoodsey· Jul 1

Charged my phone, came back to three fresh ones

Three texts that say, 1) Holy Cow, Norah! With cow emojis, like they are five. 2) $3, Norah. 3) some Florida is possible bullshit.

love this

Marlo posting, “imagine your tongue had to shed its skin like a snake.” It appears right above, “imagine trying "I know l've been gone four months but I'll explain when I'm back" if you were a shift worker at Arby's.”
