Strange to say, but I am not really keen on my kids reading my books. I don’t think they will like them and that would be the worst feeling for your own kid to see your work as trash. Of course, they would see it as trash because they aren’t into that sort of thing. I haven’t written the epic fantasy or the deeply rooted stand alone sci-fi drama or anything that would attract their particular attentions. I do not write for them, though I some point I think I will. I think I probably should. What parent doesn’t want to leave a legacy for their kids. What parent doesn’t want their kids to be proud of them. I don’t believe mine are proud of me–not a one. They don’t think about me in terms of pride. They think of me as the guy who supports them if they think of me at all. The only person who is actually proud of me in this life is my wife. And I am proud of her. That kind of makes us even closer as companions. We are partners in pride.
Some Thoughts:
- Bonkers Headline of the day: “Actor Rose Byrne named Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year” Because that’s an actual thing. FYI Micheal Keaton was named Pudding Man of the year and will receive his Pudding Pot award in the ceremony later this year. They’ve been doing this since 1770. Like for real.
- Stumbled across a post written by someone claiming to have put 3000 hours into Starfield. 3000 hours. That’s 125 days of their life. A 3rd of a year–no sleep. That is crazy cool for a creator, btw. I love the concept that a person would put that much devotion into something I created. I didn’t create it, but man I want to be part of a thing like that.
- Speaking of which, Starfield 2 is apparently about to roll out in months or even weeks!
