I forgot how much I enjoyed the super simple sketching of things around me until I found an old sketchbook. #drawing #ink #complimentary

I will be reading The Federalist Papers since I WANT to live in an open, democratic constitutional republic. ...Essays written by the very folks who drafted the constitution. I would like to see what they envisioned for the three branches for example. #politics #history #source #original

Stunning depth. The frau surprised me yesterday with a late valentine's day gift. This Atlas collects over five thousand fictional locations entertaining you with the familiar and recommending via curious discovery. #book #fiction #world #discovery #entertainment

I got a pad of paper expressly for the purpose of screwing up. It's so nice to draw without feeling that every sketch and doodle has to be refined. #comic #wip #paper #9panel #warmup

Drawing is good, clean fun. Do it already. Scarf study - I guess.

Audition snippet for my next audiobook production - my kid friendly, kid audience hey-let's-go dad voice. The real production will be 3X this! #kids #safety #audiobook #audition #openforbusiness When I'm done, do voice actors say they're 'commissions open?'

Tariff crap disturbing many of the physical RPG systems rewards I backed on Kickstarter 😭 I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LOOOONG! Yeah, there's incremental pdf updates but I don't want a Google Drive night 😚 I want books cracking spines for me and clattering dice and to get my nose up to all that art! _sigh_

Crap! Stumped by a hat. Was cruising through the my-style thing when I realized I hadn't "solved" hats on these funky heads. I'm also pretty sure they could ALL be more playful 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I should restart with that in mind. #wip #lineart #strangerthings #hats

Musk should've been sent away or handcuffed at OPM pending permissions. The rest just snowballs into Tyranny by acquiescense. Still, Trump is an aspiring War Criminal but I hadn't imagined an adolescent plowing the way. That's a twist. #bummer #shoulda #coulda #woulda #missed #Musk

Cramming auditions today - Dear writers, please stop writing "for what seemed like an eternity." I see your genius in summarizing the human condition in six words. That's really amazing. Please try other words. #writing #repetitive #appeal #repetitive #overused

Just a thought - I never bought a laptop without a burnable disk drive, CD or better. Writing, images, music, movies... I can't imagine doing something digitally and not somehow holding it physically in an earlier form. USB sticks never did it for me. #tech #CD-ROM #physical #media

Hoping Amazon soon approves my latest 7-hour pursuit fantasy audiobook. Mages v Zealots as a deadly plague threatens them all village by village making nowhere safe to turn! Second time with author Matt Calhoun. His return flatters me! 😊 #audiobook #followme #comingsoon #fantasy #magic

And why not? 🎲 RPG random tables to help quick bash-write a tiny story. 🚀 Star Trek Adventures: Captain's Log (pictured) plus my own d66 efforts (coming along). Dictator mistakes ghost for the divine. Classic #scifi 🙃 kinda #RPG #writing #shortstory #adventure

When Castro opened the prisons, he released criminals and loonies into another country. Trump John's just keeping them around. What's he up to? 🤔🫣 Be careful out there.

A few of you asked and Athena's doing okay. She was just more comfortable taking a couple weeks off. She'll be back for her regular gig on Friday. 🐈‍⬛😇

What if your journaling RPG tied in with a star system hex crawl so you could keep track of story elements large and small and putter your ship around visually? I'm starting to think this could work somehow... I'll make it prettier later. #concept #RPG #design #writing #scifi #game #thinking
