The one that started it all. The first #fantasy book I ever read.
Still epic!

Wake up.
Glare at the running shoes.
Run anyway.
Smile.

@CultureExploreX It truly is beautiful.
Nice to visit, but I prefer the countryside.

@SenecaQuote If you can't be content with a little, you won't be satisfied by a lot.

@elonmusk Humanity needs to start building like this again.
I only had an idealised vision of Paris until 3 weeks ago. Seeing it for the first time, I was not disappointed.

Lyon, France was crazy! So many bookstores. Practically around every corner. It's a good thing I can't read French... Yet! I might have spent the whole day in this one and never seen the rest.

@earthcurated Beautiful city.

[B.F. Venter @BFVenter]

Found the real thing, sort of.
Gaining so much writing inspiration in Europe!
This was just east of Autun, France.

After 15 years of scribbling ideas on notepads during field patrols, voice memos on solo night ops, and way too many failed attempts to finally sit down and write the damn thing… I’m doing it.

20,000 words in and the momentum is real. #SFF #WritingCommunity #Fantasy

What a beautiful walk on @Bibracte despite the cold and sudden hail.

The scope and scale of human potential is boundless.
Incredible things can be achieved when we let go of our supposed limitations.

If you can look in the mirror and see a better version of yourself than yesterday, you're winning.

Busy week moving house.
Managed 2,500 words.
Looking forward to settling in and smashing those word-count targets in a fresh space.
