I wonder what I should do tomorrow.

Ch 10 Nbr 08 — Do you agree with Michael Moorcock, who said: "Ignore all proffered rules and create your own, suitable for what you want to say"?

Context is important here, so here's the full quote for you to read first: https://www.writingclasses.com/toolbox/tips-masters/michael-moorcock-10-tips-for-good-storytelling#:~:text=Carrot%20and%20stick—have%20protagonists,what%20you%20want%20to%20say.

The advice boils to down to learn how to write and practice enough that you understand the basics (items 1 through 9), and understand what about all that gets in the way of you telling your tale... then tell your tale the way you need to tell it instead. I kinda agree...

To the extent you can be truthful with yourself and keep your ego at bay. This took me decades.

YMMV.

@sfwrtr @orionkidder That’s my approach. You’re bound to make money either way. It depends on how much you need/want ;) Publishing and marketing force you to write to rules and in narrow genre lanes so they can better classify your writing. Without classification, they can’t target “your” audience. In doing so, you’re forced to lose a level or creativity and story telling. Writing is about fostering and spreading creative thought and imagination.

More flash and less useful features in iOS. Adding tint colors throughout is meh. Even the clear background tint for control center. I’ll never use it. It’s for people who like emoji.~

It’s time to start the weekend. I don’t have anything planned except relaxing and maybe eating out and running some errands.

Anyone else miss in-person WWDC? Yes, I understand the reasons why it isn’t.

Good morning, everyone. It’s another sunny Monday. That’s enough of a reason to smile. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I’m still achy, and stiff. That’s to be expected, and I’m not surprised or upset. I’m getting a few new aches, mostly in my neck and jaw, but nothing to complain about.

Lunch consumed. I’m just catching up on stuff today. My jaw aches when I eat, so I definitely slammed my cheekbone. Glad it wasn’t fractured.

Good morning. Don’t rely on the kindness of strangers, but also don’t underestimate it. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Point of interest about humans. Only saw one masked person in the hospital during my stay.

Plan for tomorrow:

— watch WWDC Keynote

— errands

— eat things

— more editing

— eat more things

— flip a coin to decide if I’ll install betas released at WWDC

Don’t allow one bad decision or an anonymous person ruin your life.

Good morning, everyone. Find something relaxing and fun to do today so that you can relax and enjoy the day. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

If Apple designed email, calendar, reminders, shortcuts, and notes the way it designed XCode, we would have ended up with Outlook.~

Maybe we’ll get useful email spam filtering this year.
