I'm a fantasy writer, called a fantasy writer. But there's very little, apart from one or two basic concepts in 'I Shall Wear Midnight,' which are in fact fantasy.

— Terry Pratchett

He whom God has touched will always be a being apart: he is, whatever he may do, a stranger among men; he is marked by a sign. ↗

I've certainly auditioned for big budget studio films. I don't know if it's because there's so much money involved, but a lot of times the pressure overwhelms me and engulfs me. I end up falling apart in the audition. ↗
