I didn’t realize how tired I was until I looked at my alarm clock to see if it was DVRing anything.

Follow your own curiosity and say the most interesting stuff first. There is this weird idea of a “general reader,” who reads the New York Times and is equally interested in about 200 things (politics, peace in the middle east, pie, &c). I don’t think such people exist. And if they do, they are too busy reading the New York Times to read whatever you’re writing.
So forget that hypothetical reader and write about the things that are most interesting to you. Then, make it your mission to explain to readers why they should care about this thing you find interesting.
At the base of it, I guess I don’t believe in other people’s hierarchies about what’s important in the world. … And — this is one reason I love the web — all the analytics I’ve ever seen on my stories indicate that my own interest level and effort dictate what does well, *not* the subject matter.
“Forget your generalized audience,” John Steinbeck advised in his six timeless tips on writing, and The Atlantic’s Alexis Madrigal echoes him with even more depth and dimension in his own advice on writing.
Pair with famous writers’ collected wisdom on the craft.

Current Nomad plans have gone very… dark. Interesting. Not sure what will make it to the draft but it is an intriguing direction to consider, haha.
when I was in the seventh grade I accidentally got invited to a birthday party but the kid realized he sent me an invite and told me not to come and I was just sadly watching people post on Facebook about how they were getting ready and then out of nowhere a giant blizzard knocked out power for the entire town and they had to cancel and that’s why I believe in god

Re: Superhero clothing, particularly in the movie Thor
- Lyra: (on Magneto) to his credit, at least loki finally out-stupided his helmet
- Don: does he have a cape as well? lol
- Don: why does he have a cape?
- Lyra: because thor does
- Don: why does thor have a cape?
- Don: he flies with his hammer
- Lyra: because loki does
- Don: ah, i see
- Don: it all makes sense now
- Lyra: it's to show they're brothers
- Don: of course
- Lyra: and because their daddy had one too
- Lyra: because capes are just cool
- Lyra: when you're a god
- Don: apparently
- Don: what if you're half frost-giant?
- Don: they don't even wear pants
- Lyra: do any of the frost giants wear capes? loki doesn't count, he was raised as an asgardian
- Don: do they wear any kind of clothing?
- Lyra: I dunno
- Lyra: I don't really pay much attention to them
- Don: yeah, me neither lol
- Lyra: all I remember is they're blue and ineffectual
- Don: clothing is weird
- Don: all the asgardians wear armour all the time
- Don: for some reason
- Don: i think they might sleep in it
- Lyra: I was just having a mental image of them having sex in their armor and now I'm concerned
- Lyra: that has to chafe
- Don: very much so
- Don: also, what if they're wearing plate armour?
- Don: there's no give
- Lyra: plus you get all this rhythmic clanking
- Lyra: not sexy
- Don: indeed
