Thanks so much for the dose of inspiration! The regime is doing its damndest to demoralize everyone to the point that we devalue our own humanity and stop resisting their attempts to crush it and alienate us from our own Human Nature. Take the risk and create the good that's missing from the world!

And as one of the 20 who read your book, I can attest it is excellent, highly entertaining and engaging and edifying, and well worth the time and money to buy it and read it (for anyone reading this comment who's looking for a book to read)!!!

Went quote-digging since whatever I try to say in attempt to sound profane, no I mean profound, someone has already said it.

"There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change." Euripides.

I thought it fitting, seeing as that all too common feeling of "But what can lil' ole' me do, against [Insert Humungous Issue Here]?"

Getting rid of that feeling I think is the first step - just as it is with putting an adiction in a metaphorical rear naked choke.

And (which my old english teacher said you never start a sentence with) writing is like cooking - you get better at it over time, and you can develop a style that feels comfortable and natural to you (whether it's appealing to others is another matter) aslong as you don't mind burning the saucepan and having to try and try again, so to speak.

I mean, some artist or other is said to have said something like "Everyone's got 10 000 bad drawings in'em, sooner you start putting those 10 000 on paper, sooner you get good!" Whether the quote is true or not, the meaning is, yes?

Oh, and Happy Rebellion Day!
