Yeah, I made that mistake. I just pretend the sequel doesn't exist.
The man from earth (2007). Low budget but a great movie, particularly if you know nothing about it beforehand.
No worries about doxxing as I write under a pseudonym. Let Thy Wisdom Fear: The Gathering by D.T. Wilkinson. It's on Amazon. There's also my book of horror shorts called Tales Uncanny, which I just last week noticed a spelling error on the back cover courtesy of my darling wife and I haven't fixed it yet.
All you need to do is start and do what you can when you can. Spare minutes here and there all add up. Don't get bogged down in minutiae. You'll get there no matter how long it takes.
Thanks. I've got two young kids and a busy job so not as prolific as I'd like. Maybe a book every 3-4 years, longer if it's a grand fantasy. My first one was a quarter of a million words in a world I created from scratch, so that took maybe 6 years.
I self published two books and am almost ready to do a third. No interest in being a famous author or making millions, just glad to get them out of my head and to know they are just what I intended them to be.
Ebb tide? Or intertidal, maybe.
Shirts that should be destroyed and never mentioned again.
Nothing. As close to silence as possible.
That's a good thing. Less argumentative assholes and memelords rehashing the same tired old crap.
