Relativity
As promised, here is the other photograph I fell in love with. Nothing has been doctored or altered, it's just a clever use of angle. You can also see why it reminded me of Relativity by M.C. Escher.
This is the sixth book I've written, which isn't bad for a guy who's only ever read two.
Writers should be read, but neither seen nor heard.
Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations.
Words, once they are printed have a life of their own.
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
Not every story has explosions and car chases. That's why they have nudity and espionage.
I think I have a decent brain in my head, but I tend to waste it. Ruined my life so far with spiralling debts and alcohol, but I've taken the first steps towards starting again. Just wish I could stop feeling so bloody lonely all the time. Had the greatest life in the world recently and threw that away for no reason too - Only difference this time, it wasn't just my own life I ruined.
