- working hard at getting better at this software thing. Because software has been good to me, and now it's my turn to be good to software.
- writing at least 100 words a day. Because it turns out one is larger than zero.
- super interested in bite and barely-too-much-to-chew sized games. Because time is hard to find these days, but old habits die hard.
- in Wisconsin (most likely). Because the people are friendly, the groceries and housing are affordable, the flora is mostly green, the fauna is mostly innocuous, and beer/cheese/sausage is readily available in large quantities.
- entirely too excited by breakfast foods and street tacos. Because... well, it should be obvious.
- find me everywhere else online with the username samuelesque

Don't wait for boredom before you check. For me, it's declaring something as priority for the day that otherwise wouldn't have made the cut at all. If I don't get to something, I put a line through it and write down…
After a single week of using a physical daily planner, I realized I'd accomplished more in the previous week than I had in the past 6 months. No looking back. Every Sunday I write down a single thing to accomplish for…
Could not possibly agree with OP more. I'm using a Field Notes 56-Week planner.
Grain of salt / what works for others won't work for you / etc. Don't leap back to school without carefully vetting whatever program has caught your attention. A lot of hoop jumping, and a lot of curriculum that's a…
This tldr isn't very accurate. And the article isn't really that long. Worth the 20-something paragraphs of time. But, to offer a slightly better summary: Voltaire earned ~ half a million livres over about a year after…
If you write every day, and you've been published at a pro-rate previously, you most likely have something near-publishable in your trunk. Obviously, the publisher needs to be discerning in what he actually buys. But if…
It's certainly been getting better. I have no argument there.
If you're writing a lot, it's not a risk. You've got something sitting in a folder that you haven't touched in five years. Blow the dust off, polish the edges, and maybe you make a couple bucks. Lining up those SFWA…
Your math is a little off, but you should seriously consider brushing up a bit and writing. SFF (and speculative fiction as a whole) has a diversity problem.
What's the plan for publishing? Number of pieces Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly? Selling them, or posting them free, etc. Threw your link in the "almost sfwa" submissions bucket for now, but certainly interested in hearing…
For a company that matches employees to employers, this is a pretty brilliant passive way of saying "Hey, look at how unexciting or terrible your job is, we can help!" Personally, I was neutral across the board.…
This is a homonym, not an auto-antonym.
I see this more as "No, you're not taking it far enough. It's even more of that thing you said than how you said it," and less as an auto-antonym.
So, you think inability to focus is the cause of your interests running "hot and cold"? On medication (assuming some kind of CNS stimulant?) do you find that you're less prone to get excited about new things, and spend…
I couldn't possibly argue with that.
Addicting can be used as a participle adjective. You'd be hard-pressed to find a style guide that says otherwise.
