Live your life in such a way that if you see a post about something Quinten Tarantino said, you don’t read it and just keep on scrolling.

The best antagonists don't want to destroy the world.
They want to fix it.
They just disagree on who pays the price.
That's what makes them terrifying β€” not their cruelty. Their certainty.

I have a fairly lengthy doc titled: Let’s Write Stories.

The good news is, I have actually checked things off the list!

I read the Gunslinger when it came out in the original Donald M. Grant limited edition. I couldn’t follow it and it didn’t click for me. I never read another book in the series, and kind of fell off the King bandwagon around that point.

I always like the snappy patter, and struggle to restrain it. I blame growing up reading Stan Lee!
