I made a title card for my new book. I guess it's a way to make it feel real.
Even though I've written eight books now, it's still weirdly hard to believe that I could ever finish another one. It seems impossible.
A penny dropped in the wishing well.

I've thought a lot about the film 'The Death of Stalin' lately.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
As my kids step up to the doorstep of two, I've come to realize that Phantom Thread is really just a flick about toddlers working it out, played by Oscar-winning actors. The only thing missing is Ms. Rachel's "Big Feelings" song.
Ah, thanks! In my head, that movie and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen are the same Sean Connery movie, probably because I've yet to see either one.
What Sean Connery movie is that?

1. Focus on things in your control & take ONE action there.
2. Limit your inputs. You can't help if you're paralyzed.

Ever since The Rover, Robert Pattinson has proven himself as an exceptional character actor working as a lead, with The Lost City of Z, Good Time, The Lighthouse and The Batman showing off his incredible range, but this might be his most impressive yet.
