In this sequel to Fermi’s Progress, the Fermi continues its voyage across the galaxy, its faster-than-light engine vaporising every planet it encounters, forces unknown steering it towards inhabited worlds.

But now there is hope of a way out. An ancient, lost alien devi

Quotes by Chuck Wendig (?)

“Write as much as you can.
As fast as you can.
Finish your shit.
Hit your deadlines.
Try very hard not to suck.”
― Chuck Wendig

36 likes

“Here are the two states in which you may exist: person who writes, or person who does not. If you write: you are a writer. If you do not write: you are not. Aspiring is a meaningless null state that romanticizes Not Writing. It’s as ludicrous as saying, “I aspire to pick up that piece of paper that fell on the floor.” Either pick it up or don’t. I don’t want to hear about how your diaper’s full. Take it off or stop talking about it.”
