No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

I am so tired of people equating "edge" with "good" writing, and people implying I can't be a serious writer because of the things I love. Bradbury himself inoculated himself early against such foolishness. Love what you love. Write what you love. Tell everyone else to fuck the fuck off.

“Friends made fun. I tore up the Buck Rogers strips. For a month I walked through my fourth-grade classes, stunned and empty. One day I burst into tears, wondering what devastation had happened to me. The answer was: Buck Rogers. He was gone, and life simply wasn’t worth living. The next thought was: Those are not my friends, the ones who got me to tear the strips apart and so tear my own life down the middle; they are my enemies.
I went back to collecting Buck Rogers. My life has been happy ever since. For that was the beginning of my writing science fiction. Since then, I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.”

Ray Bradbury. “Zen in the Art of Writing.”

Book cover for the wards will fall. It features a man with dark curly hair and olive times skin on the front. He is looking concerned with a hand raised. Golden wards are tattooed on the side of his head and back of his hands. He is wearing an elaborate coat covered in silver rocs. A shadow is behind him with many horns and a golden eye. The title says the wards will fall. Underneath it says oleander craw.

A digital drawing of my oc Zinthra on bright pinkish red background. She's a woman with ash-blue skin, dressed in gray and black clothes - a hat, veil that cover the upper part of her face, coat, vest, pants and gloves. She's wielding a sword with one hand, with the other she seems to be applying some magic to the weapon. Behind her there is a giant snake, in a ready to attack pose.

Need a couple of different fountains set up to experience lukewarm slightly mossy park water, cold as hell government building water and strangely delicious limestone aquifer well water whenever you need a water change up. A water fountain variety pack if you will

Scream us a song, you're the Piano Man
A song from the darkness beneath
With your piano wire hair and your soul-chilling stare
And your eighty-eight black and white teeth
