First Line of Fearless Fourteen

I’m trying to enjoy some life again so between work and school I’m picking up a favorite author and reading for fun. I did this back this summer (see HERE) when I had a break from school. 

And since I’ve started pecking away again at Sunset Perfect (probably inspired by these reviews! HERE)I thought it would be good to read a bit. It’s also a stress reliever for me. So that’s plenty of reasons for me to read more. 

Series Continues Forward

So, this series continues to grow . . . why? Well, first I love these lines. It's a good thing to find these little gems and appreciate them. Secondly, they help me figure things out in my own life. They resonate with me and linger, sometimes they emanate other light and other understandings. 

Regardless, it used to be that Great White North was my best sourse for these Evershade posts (see HERE), but lately it's been Molotov Scotch Tale. 

The Series Continues

So the series continues (see HERE), the evershade labeled posts keeps moving forward. This time thanks in large part to Top Shelf Bourbon Elf (again). 

First, from MolotovScotchTale (a great profile name), ther is this that is simple. 

More for the Series

 Here are a few more for my ever growing "Evershade" series (see HERE). 

These came by way of all my friends on the Twitter and on Reddit. Again, I think they're worth capturing. 

Seems a Bit Short (and Spooky)

Something remarkable happened. I got an apology from someone and it was wholly inadequate. Like meteorically unimpressive. I was thinking about it and and wondering what to respond or think about it ultimately, when I ran into a Seinfeld clip that summed it up perfectly.

What's funny is that it wasn't just summed up perfectly about how to think about it . . . it was the EXACT SAME APOLOGY! It was spooky infact.   

More and More

To continue the Evershade series (see HERE) I now offer these!

First, another simple and quickie, from Purple. Similar to the simple ones from before.

want to hold on . . .

BUT . . 

 . . . will let go

More Reviews

 So, last week I posted about a stellar review (see HERE), this week I decided to catch up on a few more. First, let me say that someone reading your book and saying that it would make a great movie is a huge feeling of accomplishment. Secondly, when someone reads your book and disects it in ways that even the author didn't know he could, it's a great rush!

Another That Strokes the Ego

It’s been a while since I posted one of these… And I’ve gotten a few others but this one really hit me. It always makes an author feel good to have a reader not only say great things about their book but want to go out and find more.

This is for my second book and I think I’m getting close to 100 reviews on it. Usually I think you can count on about 10 PM percent of people who read your book actually leaving a review. So it’s nice to know I’m getting this much volume… Not to mention the fact that they’re overwhelmingly good reviews not bad ones  

New DUNE

 I got a chance to watch the new DUNE movie today. Loved it.

I'm a huge DUNE fan. I read it when I was in middle school. Then again in high school. I think I read it again in college or the military.  Each time I read it I got more out of it. There's a messiah figure, good vs evil, colonization vs native people, drug lords and victims, there are so many stories wrapped into that one book and it's fun to read it and see different aspects and perspecgtives each time.

 This movie is a great telling of it. I would have loved to see Jodorowsky's DUNE but barring that, this one was quite good and I think I'll go try and read DUNE again once this class comes to an end. It's a fun look at another world, much like any Vernor Vinge (see HERE).

Always Collecting More

 I'm always out there trying to find new quotes, phrasings and lines that help me make sense of things. I put them here in my Evershade series (see HERE). It's my one sop to poetry. 

This first is from missing piece.
