Writers who don't read books: A Response
Writers who don't read books: A Response YouTube video by Man Carrying Thing

As a former supremely arrogant writer who believed in never having to read to be a writer, I can say, with certainty, reading is the most important thing you can do to be a better writer.

Swag from the big ol antique shop in town. Managed to snag a few Star Trek comics from the series I’m collecting. An overall good day.

Sam and Al at Al’s Place.

Sam and Al at Al’s Place.

Finished Quantum Leap with my friend tonight. Season 5 was not great. It had some (not a lot, some) good moments, but there were too many non-episodes with no real stakes (I think you know the ones I’m talking about).

I liked the finale. Glad I was able to watch it again.

My creative energy is at an all time low. I try to hype myself up, but it fizzles out pretty much right away. I wonder if I’ll ever write again?

Crusty cellphone pic of the achievements screen on Xenoblade X Definitive Edition. The most notable item is at the top: Achievement King, noting that I cleared all 740 achievements in the game. No, I have nothing better to do.

It is done. I have unlocked all achievements on Xenoblade X. Some of those holofigures were a real pain in the ass to get.

The poster for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. What’s Spock pointing at? Why does the Enterprise look a little goofed? Why is it shooting Space Station Regula 1? I have pondered these, and many other questions, for decades…

Spent my evening watching Star Trek II. Been a while since I last watched it all the way through. Here’s hoping I don’t freeze to death over the weekend.

I just beat Shadow of the Colossus. Argo really is the best, couldn’t have asked for a better companion.
