You're a Good Little Slave
I think maybe we die every day. Maybe we're born new each dawn, a little changed, a little further on our own road. When enough days stand between you and the person you were, you're strangers. Maybe that's what growing up is. Maybe I have grown up.
Each day the memories weigh a little heavier. Each day they drag you down that bit further. You wind them around you, a single thread at a time, and you weave your own shroud, you build a cocoon, and in it madness grows.
We die a little every day and by degrees we’re reborn into different men, older men in the same clothes, with the same scars.
When I started the 'Broken Empire' trilogy, I thought it was a short story, and I didn't know the beginning, middle, or end of even that.
I manage to read about one book a month, all fantasy these days.
I have a slightly crap blog where I opine on anything that occurs to me and run the occasional silly competition.
Everyone likes a bit of variety. I'm sure none of my readers only want to read about anti-heroes or villainous protagonists any more than they only want to read about square-jawed heroes doing the right thing. I just write characters than entertain me and hope they'll be ones that other people want to read about, too.
All lives are tales. Some spread, and grow in the telling. Others are just told between us and the gods, muttered back and forth behind our days, but those tales grow too and shake us just as fierce.
Lundist held that a man who can observe is a man apart. Such a man can see opportunities where others see only the obstacles
We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.
It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh
Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
Every man has his thorns, not of him, but in him, deep as bones.
