“Apparently someone asked Raymond Chandler once what he thought about Hollywood ruining all of his books. And he took them to his study and pointed up to the shelf where they all were and he said, ‘Look, they’re there. They’re fine. They’re okay.’ That’s the attitude I have to take.

So I’m up and writing again, and my thanks partially lies with this recently discovered (by me) song by a band I’ve been growing more and more fond of over time. My Utopia by Van Canto. This is basically an A Capella group singing metal music. This song, especially the chorus line… Fly… To the morning skies With armies of the true believers. Try… … Read More MORE Inspiration…
