Our seats at the symphony. http://twitpic.com/13b2lj #
At Borders with the family. #
I'm about 2/3 of the way through my novel and haven't plotted a word of it. But I see the plot now, so I am going to do a
plot outline. #
Hi I am not traveling is i'm heading to my office work there all day. #
I need to give up on posting to Twitter via Jott. It's just not accurate enough. #
AOL needs to take some UI lessons from Meebo. The Meebo iPhone app interface is a dream. #
Wireless Apple keyboard used with iPhone? Priceless! #
Still waiting to see if I'll be traveling to Denmark in March. #
I just ousted Ken L. as the mayor of Chick-fil-A – Central & Southwestern on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/693DCd #
With Zoë at her Booker T Washington drama audition. #
My five year old daughter playing with her Polly dolls: "Come, my minions. Come and see how I became Queeeeeeeen of the Uuuuuniverse. " #
Finally playing around with Twitter lists. Made one for the Dallas Mavericks. Not sure what else to "list," though. #
I'm wondering if I'll ever get around to watching the Olympics. Haven't yet. Doubt I will. #
Out getting Sunday brunch. #
Doing more plot development work on my novel. The second draft will be a lot of hard work, but it will be a much tighter novel and plot. #
Looking forward to finishing up plot stuff so I can just get back to writing. I'm not far from the end. 80,000 words written. #
Got plot done to my current chapter. Lots of clarity. Time to start writing again. Woo! #

Bought my wife tickets to Rachmaninoff at the Symphony on Valentine's day. They are front row center. I am shocked. Bad economy=poor sales? #
I like women in hats. Why do I like women in hats? I don't know. I just do. #
Just realized that my "hats" tweet was reminiscent of the Twitter work of @baldingangrily. #
I'm at Trails of White Rock Apartments (1121 Beachview Street, Dallas). http://4sq.com/bIloEf #
Just did my first webinar. 200+ attendees. Was cool. Spoke on social media 101. #
Snowpocalypse Dallas! http://twitpic.com/12lchm #
I am putting a great deal of faith in my ability to rewrite. I hope my trust is well-founded. Just past 80,000 words on my first draft. #
At Starbucks. #
I just became the mayor of Justice on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/cuHUdF #
Very excited about the Mavs-Wizards trade. Two great pieces to add to the machine. This could turn out very very good. #
Weaving the plot. #
Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I love any excuse to give gifts. #
I got Lea tix to the symphony–front row center. #
Simon Trpceski is a fantastic pianist. #DSO #

It's interesting reading A Song Of Ice and Fire while writing my novel. They are both fantasies, but they couldn't be more different. #
I really hate the word "giggle." #
Tyrion in A Song of Ice and Fire is one of my favorite characters ever. #
Muhahahaha, now I can stalk @louiseblack. #
