I should resurrect one of my old Sun workstations that can no longer access the network, fire up vi, and get going.

Not entirely sure how I’d get the resulting document off of there, but one step at a time!

Or over the damn computer monitor so I can’t get distracted by the little buttons telling me I have more email or cool little twitter feeds to read.

@Danielle — heh. I expect it has something to do with learning new words. It’s a good way to expand your vocabulary, but you have to know when to use those new words, which — more to the point — is where the teaching falls down, I think.

3. Just do it. Write the damn thing.

4. Did I mention writing?

5. Oops, ass moved. Back in chair.

9. Butt in chair. Are you writing yet?

10. Ass in chair, fingers on keyboard. Pen in hand. Go write. NOW.

[...] in there, and it’s just all full of interesting food for thought. My homeboy Chuck Wendig did a similar list. Then my other homeboy Josh did one. A friend of mine bitched that I don’t blog enough. So I [...]

I’m a werewolf.

Truth is out.

Wendig smelling like wet dog? The devil you say. That man smells like nothing more than awesome and beard – at least that’s all I get from the bushes I stalk him from.

Wait a minute… Wendig… wet dog… wendig… wet dog.

It is suddenly all starting to make sense.

Eating cheese and having sex with the dog, maybe. I dunno. I drink a lot.
