I don’t think I’ve ever said much about it. I guess it’s such a big part of my online arsenal of writing tools that I’ve never really thought about writing to recommend it.

In case you’ve been living in a small closet somewhere in the deep woods and not heard of it, Gmail (yes, it’s easily found at gmail.com) is the free email and online organization toolbox offered by Google. Sure, I’m aware that Google appears to be dominating the world these days, but it’s still worth looking into if you’ve not tried Gmail.

Using jargon is something I’ve written about here before, and it’s a subject that deserves your constant vigilance.

That toothpick-throwpick question is not really a riddle, but one of the many fascinating questions arising from my regular morning breakfast routine at a nearby coffee shop — I constantly ask them, “Where are the toothpicks?” and they usually tell me, “The throwpicks? They’re right over there on the counter.”

National Novel Writing Month, aka NaNoWriMo, will be here faster than I realized. Yes, I know, I should have looked more closely at the calendar or paid more attention to what I saw. It’s right there in the same place every year at this time, isn’t it? November I mean. According to the countdown clock at the NaNoWriMo website, we’re at three days, 12 hours, and counting until the magic challenge begins.
