I hope all the book bloggers/ reviewers out there know how much their work means to us indie authors. I was really struggling with motivation this evening, and then I came across a lovely review of Future Fish, and it fully lifted my spirits 🙂

Sentence of the day… “He rolled about the city like a marble on a chessboard.” From ‘The Line’ - Amor Towles

I’ve just rewatch Dark Star for the first time in about 30 years. Crazy film. But interesting to see how much of it found its way into Alien.

I’ve already found my quote of the day - again from amor towles because that’s who I’m reading right now… “…when a man is paid to provide his opinions and he’s had some success in doing so, he is bound to become a little insufferable.” So true.
