Like I said, I wasn&#39;t doing any hard research, just musing through conversion rates to keep myself occupied on my morning jog 😅 <br/><br/>I&#39;m a little disappointed to learn that a mile is actually 1609 meters. Now all my running figures are off! 2026-03-04T13:51:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9qrw5j2d8d4muf2rllapyjh3grx93uadeta8shwfsx0nj7es8nlgzypk7xq00ehjfxzsqnda60d057rv8s0dv068l5f2ad5mvr544eeq7jgunm3e #WritersCoffeeClub 3/4 Share a recent experience where something just &#39;clicked&#39;.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve made some good strides revising my WIP and am finding great bits to salvage from the first draft, but not so many &#39;click&#39; moments lately.<br/><br/>I did have a fun revelation while jogging last weekend where I realized that people probably based the mile off of kilometers. To me, it makes no sense that someone said &#34;ooh! We&#39;re going to take 5,512 arbitrary feet and call it a mile&#34; when 1600 meters fits perfectly into a mile. I imagine they measured out the meters and started calling that a mile first and then figured how many feet that worked out to be.<br/><br/> I haven&#39;t checked that. It could be wrong. 2026-03-04T13:12:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg7q6tm23ztltxw7wctglgd8kxqdxvx5mx89lr4quajfvpf6xv96gzypk7xq00ehjfxzsqnda60d057rv8s0dv068l5f2ad5mvr544eeq7jl0ah90 #WordWeavers 2/7 What&#39;s the most rewarding thing about writing?<br/><br/>Being able to reach people I may never actually meet and getting to share a small bit of my mind and soul with them. I&#39;m particularly hopeful that my future grandkids and predecessors might read my books after I&#39;m gone and feel a small touch of connection with me. 2026-02-07T12:04:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp7dl57pyp8dp49n420uzl0mc6lj3kjj76cxxztsu5e0skwtg5awszypk7xq00ehjfxzsqnda60d057rv8s0dv068l5f2ad5mvr544eeq7ja6dajs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqtg2h0nfw83306hghxt5vjs2uenyrgd6sq5nkh38fjrww053la7spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43q6q22tj'>nevent1q…22tj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqf7puqet6c835mgsr0ax3rrn4fp4j8cm5xuugx5csf0q2vjjcp7zs8vd9m7" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqf7puqet6c835mgsr0ax3rrn4fp4j8cm5xuugx5csf0q2vjjcp7zs8vd9m7</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…d9m7</span>)</a></span> Just so long as you don’t mind a shoulder rub with oven mitts.

How does that sound?<br/><br/>Oh, or I could set you up with a place in PR for a tropical writing retreat. But at that point I’d be asking you for a shoulder rub. 2026-01-14T14:27:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9wxh0jgvuyw4m2mht6cvwlhml2xfsy5lpwkrgnlsw7hgqpmazpvgzypk7xq00ehjfxzsqnda60d057rv8s0dv068l5f2ad5mvr544eeq7j65gtjz #WritersCoffeeClub 6/20: Solstice. What&#39;s the most you&#39;ve ever written in a single session? What made that possible?<br/><br/>I&#39;m usually lucky if I can get to 1K words in a single session. <br/><br/>A few times I remember pounding out betweeen 3-4K words in one sitting. The happened because <br/><br/>1) I was writing a shorter piece, so I was eager to finish it.<br/>2) I was feverishly passionate about whatever half-baked idea I had in my head.<br/>3) I had the house to myself for the whole day. 2025-06-20T11:44:10Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqytqeccfhs6eykasyg3sjxv35mdj4y7etvtyt6tlw54lkmtg7j7gzypk7xq00ehjfxzsqnda60d057rv8s0dv068l5f2ad5mvr544eeq7j9fytq5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspsh3xg4sxagd5nnnpv0rp3nwc3uedr4pxk2c2ag0nxr376f6peyspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q999t4k'>nevent1q…9t4k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqy65zqkhx464fqnfmuwn6p0a3exzlls82kqdjsv3x0g9s9jmllpqsrak80g" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqy65zqkhx464fqnfmuwn6p0a3exzlls82kqdjsv3x0g9s9jmllpqsrak80g</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…k80g</span>)</a></span> I can consistently juggle five balls, but only 3-4 clubs.
