Sat, 22:53: I think I will never read the comments section of anything. Just reading rants about them makes me tired. Sat, 22:56: It’s entirely possible that I’ll never see a Lars Von Trier film. Everything I hear makes me curious, but mostly curious-icky, you know?

Thu, 21:41: Criticizing the reader’s taste is a sure-fire way to succeed as a writer! #moreleftforme Thu, 22:37: RT @followthelede: Telling some stories is an act of subversion. @LisaBolekaja @sirosenbaum @djolder @alisoncecile
Thu, 08:43: As a boy from Detroit, I find it nifty that I can hear the faint call of a fog horn from my bedroom.
Tue, 09:52: I have started this accursed story three different ways. Does it not want to be written?
Sun, 13:20: We saw a pair of white tail deer in the soccer field near our house on our way home from the Christmas pageant today.
Sat, 07:59: Watched the solstice sunrise. 3° of clouds delayed the sun’s appearance by 12 minutes. Sun in the SSE, 155°. Sat, 09:28: Caught myself singing “pancakes in the warmer drawer” to the tune of “Step in Time.” Clearly I need some new material. </u
Thu, 10:30: Just watched “An Adventure in Space and Time.” I admit it, I was snlffling at the end. http://t.co/B3KAQFKVeZ
Mon, 21:23: It’s awful when you can’t phrase what you think you believe in a way you would find remotely respectable.
Sun, 13:07: I actually have a hard time imagining any real actors as comic book characters, and the portrayals usually disappoint me. Sun, 20:35: Ken, Ken, checking @Duotrope every five minutes isn’t going to make anything happen any faster…
Sat, 21:28: RT @DeanAtta: “I’m not racist but…” I saw this and thought of you @suey_park http://t.co/Y5B7SmzTOQ
Fri, 15:55: Hao Jinfang’s “Invisible Planets” in @LightspeedMag (@kyliu99 trans) is playful, romantic, gorgeously imaginative. http://t.co/0iETkSNKIb
Tue, 22:16: My odd little legalistic story, “I Have Read the Terms of Use” on @DailySF. http://t.co/oUDJV9guMd
Mon, 23:37: Tybalt is perfectly safe and docile, so long as I give him All The Attention.
Sun, 13:48: Writing bored characters: if you’re not convincing, the reader will find it unrealistic. If you are convincing, the reader will be bored.
Sat, 10:18: The standard cliché of mundane military punishment is being forced to peel potatoes for hours. Just sayin’. #latkeprep
Thu, 11:07: Consequence of over-familiarity with fandom: when a catalog advertises “free shipping,” you immediately think of something inappropriate.
Tue, 21:59: RT @DailySF: Kenneth Schneyer: “I Have Read the Terms of Use” – email scifi story for 11/26/2013. (we hope!) Tue, 22:14: RT @gregvaneekhout: All else being equal, I favor short story markets that pay SFWA qualifying rates. But all else is seldom equal. Still, …
Mon, 12:01: Consequence of channel surfing too quickly on cable: you think there’s something called “prophetic sleepwear.”
Fri, 09:04: In preparation for an April lecture, I’d be grateful for cites to good articles on the relationship between science & science fiction.
Wed, 09:33: Joys of an urban campus: street is being loudly ripped up outside the window as my students are taking their final exam. Wed, 09:55: “Selected Program Notes” now free online! http://t.co/dgzilisKfB Wed, 09:59: @mythicdelirium has put my story “Selected Program Notes …” online! #fulltitleistoolongforatweet http://t.co/h6tpMWGolH

Sun, 12:07: Unseasonably warm enough to bike the 2.5 mi to the Coffee Depot in Warren to grade papers. Now if I can only finish before it rains…
Fri, 23:44: Aieee! A thousand pics on Twitter, and they’re all Will Wheaton! @wilw Fri, 23:49: I still enjoy personal rejections, even when they don’t have anything particularly nice to say about the story.
Sun, 12:14: My Nebula-Eligible Stories (One in Particular) http://t.co/C7y1eAKh4M Mon, 10:25: In which I explain my reasons for singling out one Nebula-eligible story of mine. http://t.co/EyArJrL5qC
Tue, 09:10: Few of us have the energy, nimbleness or subtlety to engage in a “perpetual revolution” of the intellect. (1 of 2)
Sun, 10:32: I’m delighted that @mythicdelirium bought my weird little story, “Levels of Observation”. That’s my 3rd sale to Mike!
Tue, 20:03: Gave a 90-minute reading on the Johnson & Wales campus. Many thanks to the ~40 enthusiastic students, faculty and staff who attended!

Mon, 23:40: How can I be so fond of writing and so phobic about PLOT?
Sat, 10:49: Upside of having a difficult-to-pronounce name: you can identify a telemarketer in five seconds. Sat, 11:47: There’s nothing like trying to read a long paper for content when every blessed sentence contains multiple grammar errors. Sat, 11:50: RT @JuddLegum: Can I burn down your house?

Sun, 11:11: Personal rejection from an excellent market that has never sent me a personal rejection before. In my twisted mind, this is a “win.” Sun, 11:27: Got a pile of grading for the day. See y’all later.
Wed, 13:07: I get a lot of pleasure from the snark in my beta readers’ comments. Not asking for more, you understand, but I do appreciate it.
