Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.

The ability to fantasize is the ability to survive,
and the ability to fantasize is the ability to grow.
- Ray Bradbury.
John Steinbeck, on writing:
When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages,
a sick sense of failure falls on me, and I know I can never do it.
Then gradually, I write one page and then another.
One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate.
- John Steinbeck.
Asher Roth, on dedication:
Do your thing.
Do it unapologetically.
Don't be discouraged by criticism.
You probably already know what they're going to say.
Pay no mind to the fear of failure.
It's far more valuable than success.
Take ownership, take chances, and have fun.
And, no matter what, don't ever stop doing your thing.
- Asher Roth.

Don't just think it - ink it!

When you write a book, you spend day after day scanning and identifying the trees.

Glass (2019):
I love Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016).
If writer and director M. Night Shyamalan gets Glass right, he’s achieved a perfect trilogy!
Glass is another movie on my “must see” list.

The movie remake of one of my favorite Stephen King novels: Pet Sematary, is due for cinema release in April, 2019.
Directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer. Screenplay by Jeff Buhler. Cast includes: Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, John Lithgow, Jeté Laurence, Hugo Lavoie, Lucas Lavoie and Obssa Ahmed.
Looking forward to this one!
