They finally met after exchanging several emails from the dating site.
He choose Dunkin' Donuts cause he liked their coffee.
She thought he was unoriginal for doing so.
He was enjoying the date oblivious to the fact she found his hair too gray for his age.
The look on her face indicated there wouldn't be a "first" date.

These Little Set Backs Are Just What We Need To Take A Giant Step Forward
I've been working on a story for a while now, partly due to coming up with the story, but most of it is because I am lazy. If I don't have an idea to continue the story, I should work on characters, the world itself, or a general outline. I don't though, cause it's easier for me to say I have no ideas.
Yesterday, I took a step back from the story to work on a timeline. I was excited to come up with the original idea, that I jumped into writing it. Nothing wrong with that, because I've gotten ideas from there as well. However I thought I had messed up the order of events so far, but I didn't after reading through what I have so far.
With a fresh page in a notebook (actual pencil and paper) I listed each day and the events that take place during it. While working on it, I got a new idea that fits in with the story.
While working on the villains, my muse whispered several more in my ear. That is something else I need to give my attention to. I don't want my story to be like painting my D&D miniatures where I painted all the heroes first, lost interest in painting and had a lot of unpainted monsters left to do.
I do have days devoted to writing, I could devote them to heroes, villains, the world, and general ideas.
Most importantly, just keep working on the story.

The Weight Of Words
A while ago I made a book of my favorite quotes from thechive.com, on the cover I put Neil Gaiman’s "This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until its done. It's that easy, and that hard.”
I keep this book in my messenger bag, along with my journal, notebook, and chromebook which I take to work every day. As I walk from my apartment to my car, from my car to my desk, I feel the weight of these items.
This weight reminds me of all I’ve written so far, what I’m working on, and ideas for later.
When I haven’t written in a while, this weight is heavier.
