Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 22: Is there a book you wish you’d written? There's a book I wish I'd written sooner. In 2016, I was going to write a novel based on one of my short stories. At the time, I didn't have enough experience with writing longer works, so I shelved it.

#ScribesAndMakers Feb 20: Do you measure progress with something quantifiable like word count, or something more abstract, like resolving an issue? For a novel, yeah, I'll have a spreadsheet that I use to log number of words. The spreadsheet calculates progress, number of pages, etc.

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 18: Do you agree with Flannery O’Connor, who said, “I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say”? I think I agree with the general concept. Sometimes you need to externalize a thought before you can fully comprehend it.

#ScribesAndMakers Feb 18: Do I have multiple creative outlets? Are they a distraction or do they work synergistically? I have a bunch of creative outlets and, yeah, they're a distraction. But, honestly, I'd probably be able to balance my time better if it weren't for all the doomscrolling.
