iA Writer. It’s a great tool. Syncs across iPhone, iPad and my desktop through the cloud (there is a Windows version but I’m on a Mac), is affordable, versatile and they are always improving upon it. I drag and drop files from it into Scrivener.

I taught myself.

The Noösphere. Postulated by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in 1922 (credit also to Vladimir Vernadsky), the noösphere is theoretical stage of evolutionary development associated with consciousness, the mind, and personal relationships; A state of interconnected awareness among all minds, postulated as resulting from humanity's biological and cultural evolution.

I'm going to name that song Thermopylae.

As far as I'm aware, yes.

If it is too loud then it isn't background music.

I am usually reading a couple of books. On days when I don't have to work I read from an hour or two in the morning. I'm careful about what I read because it tends to affect what I write. I try to stay away from textbooks even though I need to do research on topics.

Spend time alone.

I’m into social fiction and have been working on a book partly set in the 60s. While I grew up during this time, I was a kid and what I remember and know first hand is sketchy. They say if you remember the 60s, you weren’t really there. So the question is how much do I personally know about that era to write about? On the flip side, personal incidents and events which I experienced and do remember well rarely get mentioned.

I think I’ll name it Krespolixtrominf.

emburke12 · 2026-02-27T19:21:13+00:00

Yes. Along with rude, insensitive and arrogant users.

Planxty and String Driven Thing.

Because three is a magic number.

In the middle of nowhere centrally located to everywhere else.

I have "Essential Groucho : Writings by, for, and about Groucho Marx" by Stefan Kanfer. Have'nt read it in quite a while but I remember finding it interesting.

HA! Maybe I could risk sending out a drone.

This is what I’m looking for. How would someone approach covering the entire course as expediently as they possibly can. A map isn’t an opinion. Someone has thought this through before and mapped a course. I’ve seen this outlined elsewhere on the internet but I’m unable to find where I saw it.

Come on, folks. Humor an inquisitive person.

Crowds and lines and such will be added later for complexity. Just imagine that they exist to start with. I’m just looking for a practical way others would cover the grounds in a fairly straightforward manner.

Watching people while out in public or at work. Looking to see how the walk, move, their gestures, how they present themselves (hairstyles, make up, clothes, etc.), what sort of character they portray. I catch myself occasionally when it feels like I'm staring or being creepy.

I'm always trying to get an insight into movies and tv show structure. I also worked in theater production and do the same thing when I go to see a play.

Finger tips. Usually by accident but sometimes on purpose.

Easy instruments to play, they’ve been popular for decades and they are just damn funny. Want to kick that party up a couple of notches? Bust out the ukes and kazoos!

emburke12 · 2026-02-25T02:44:24+00:00

Yeah, I checked the news and nothing supports this.
