Why can't I write?

I have learned that tomorrow is never promised, indeed. You learn that over time in ordinary living. You learn it very quickly in war.

Yes, just start writing. Do not subcribe to any theory about writer's block.

You have a story inside you that wants to be told. Sit at the keyboard and just let it out!

Forbidden Planet.

I've seen it many times. It's unforgettable. It has been compared to Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and it recalls Jung's theory about the collective unconscious mind.

My story is heading towards it's end.

All of our lives have a trajectory that will eventually come to an end . . . but I am convinced that the end of life isn't the end of everything.

And I am also convinced that each and every one of us has a purpose.

That purpose may not manifest itself until certain things transpire.

We should not try to rush things.

Grad Scheme Vs real job

My advice: look to the future.

Where do you want to be 5, 10, 20 years from now?

Get all the education you can right now.

Don't let anything derail your plans to be all you can be!

I am studying clinical psychology and they are indeed easy to predict. though i end up analysing myself alot which can be both good and bad....espeically when i decide not to listen to what i tell myself xD its gotten me in alot of trouble

I have done a lot of introspection lately. Although I try to assign nobility to my actions, I realize that I am a flawed creature who has made many mistakes. Sometimes I wish that there was a great big reset button that I could push.

However, we cannot change the past--we can only change the future.

The past is gone. The present is lost as it arrives. There is only the future.

Your favorite horror movies?

Speaking of Stephen King, both he and his wife have taken a ride with me (Uber). He was going to start a book signing tour and the publisher had a chartered jet scheduled to take them to the beginning location. He has a mobile home to travel in from place to place along with chauffeurs but it had left days before to get something in it repaired or replaced. So I was the lucky recipient of his Uber transport. When we parted ways he gave me a gift. You will have to read my book to find out what it was.

Tell us about your book!

I remember reading that Stephen King would scare himself so badly when writing horror novels that he wouldn't go into his own basement!
