"If you know trad, and you know indie, you may make your victory."

"The art of writing is of vital importance to the author. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin."
Yes. Exactly this.
"speed is the essence of writing."
stop me.

dammit. #sunTzuArtOfWriting
"Who wishes to write must first count the cost." - #sunTzuArtOfWriting
