Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan.”

There are half a dozen good coffee places near me but all a 10-20 minute walk, which creates a really lovely decision for me every morning. The walk there and back is part of my wake-up routine—and often part of my writing process too #writesky

Absolutely reeling from the ignominy of being eliminated from a Yahoo fantasy football death league in Week 3. Outside, I can feel the eyes of strangers boring into me. “That’s him,” they whisper. “That’s the one.”

Flamfew [FLAM-fyoo] (also “Flamefew”) (n.) 1. Moonlight reflected upon water. Used in a sentence: “The flamfew glittered upon the ornamental koi pond, lending an air of enchantment to a place where three governesses had mysteriously vanished and the fish had grown inordinately corpulent.”

A "Grandiloquent Word of the Day" meme for “Flamfew,” defined as “moonlight reflected upon water.” An antique engraving shows a full moon low over the sea, its light shimmering across the waves as a sailing ship passes on the horizon. The example sentence reads: “The flamfew glittered upon the ornamental koi pond, lending an air of enchantment to a place where three governesses had mysteriously vanished and the fish had grown inordinately corpulent.”
