Not so much disagree, just that it’s stupid. Wearing the Guy Fawkes mask after V for Vendetta became prominent. When they buy an official one, Warner Bros gets a cut. The mask was worn by a man fighting for a Catholic monarchy and a theocracy, and is a foolish symbol for this group.

Is exct a thing or just a typo?

Cup of Yorkshire tea and half a dozen rich tea biscuits to dip first thing in the morning.

Per se. Vis a vis. Erudite. Juxtaposition. Elucidate.

Candles

Quokka and Capybara, hands down.

Plenty of great comedies have laugh tracks. Alan Partridge, The IT Crowd, Mr. Bean, Black Books, Only Fools & Horses, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted, to name a few.

The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan. Kalki by Gore Vidal. The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. Starve Acre by Andrew Michael Hurley. Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Atonement by Ian McEwan. Being Dead by Jim Crace.

Yeah, I made that mistake. I just pretend the sequel doesn’t exist.

We all know we fight it for quite some time before eventually relenting, then wonder why we didn’t relent hours earlier.

The man from earth (2007). Low budget but a great movie, particularly if you know nothing about it beforehand.

No worries about doxxing as I write under a pseudonym. Let Thy Wisdom Fear: The Gathering by D.T. Wilkinson. It’s on Amazon. There’s also my book of horror shorts called Tales Uncanny, which I just last week noticed a spelling error on the back cover courtesy of my darling wife and I haven’t fixed it yet.

All you need to do is start and do what you can when you can. Spare minutes here and there all add up. Don’t get bogged down in minutiae. You’ll get there no matter how long it takes.

Thanks. I’ve got two young kids and a busy job so not as prolific as I’d like. Maybe a book every 3-4 years, longer if it’s a grand fantasy. My first one was a quarter of a million words in a world I created from scratch, so that took maybe 6 years.

I self published two books and am almost ready to do a third. No interest in being a famous author or making millions, just glad to get them out of my head and to know they are just what I intended them to be.

Ebb tide? Or intertidal, maybe.

Tool - Aenima

Nothing. As close to silence as possible.
