Today
is International Women's Day. What are you going to do about the
increasing disappearance of colossal megafauna? Drink 8 8-ounce
glasses of water every day. Don't drink too much water during meals
as it may upset your digestion; drink the water between meals
instead. Don't ingest too much caffeine or you'll have trouble
sleeping. Don't ingest too much alcohol or you'll have trouble
sleeping. If you have trouble sleeping, try these other pills
instead. Or meditate. Meditating can promote habits of mindfulness in
your daily life and positive emotions like compassion and
forgiveness. If you have trouble getting your thoughts to focus on
loving kindness toward yourself, change your thoughts. If your
thoughts focus too much on negative interpretations of events, change
your thoughts. Your thoughts are not you. Also, too much telling is
bad for your fiction writing. Too much description is also bad.
Social networking can help increase traffic to your blog or website.
But don't make your search engine optimization efforts too clumsy and
overt. When Savonarola ruled Florence he perpetrated the Bonfire of
the Vanities. You only need to know 3 chords to play "Rock This
Town" by the Stray Cats on the ukelele. There is a cat version
of Prozac and it is basically the same as regular Prozac. The giant
Pacific garbage patch is not the only gigantic patch of decomposing
plastic in the ocean. Boxwood hedges can smell like cat pee, and not
necessarily because a cat peed there. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton,
Dick Dale, and Brian May started off as ukelele players before taking
up the guitar. The Sassy Gay Friend stereotype is SO over. Dystopian
fiction is also over. Or it's just getting started and will replace
zombies, which were the new vampires. Freedom is just another word
for nothing left to lose. That line is from "Me & Bobby
McGee," which was written by Kris Kristofferson, who has been a
prolific songwriter as well as an actor. Oh, and there's going to be
a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover comic book.
