Plan for tomorrow:

— 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.

It’s a gorgeous day. I think I’ll get some lunch and go for a walk.

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.

I wonder what I should do tomorrow.

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.

What iOS app has blown you away lately?

I’m playing with Bears, Gentle Streak, and Agenda. Really top-notch.

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 It depends if you write to make money or to explore and learn writing. ;)

SergKoren,
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

@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.

Anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

SergKoren, to random
@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

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

@SergKoren@writing.exchange avatar

It’s Friday. It’s close enough to evening to call it quitting time. I’ve gotten enough accomplished for today. It’s time to relax and recuperate some more.

Hm. I wonder what happened to inter-app communication protocols. Yes, I know we have URLs, but not for anything useful. Yes, I know there are security issues… we always have security issues, but get emoji instead? We get circuses instead of bread…

I’m assuming we’ll get a more bloated XCode with AI capability built-in…

Hm. I wonder if we’ll see an updated form of multitasking on the iPad this year…
