I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

    Some books I love

    I haven't produced much content lately. Just not feeling "pony." Been working on some space opera I might post to Royal Road or Amazon or something someday.

    In light of my recent lack of content, have some of my favorite books:

    Me: Don't worry about it.

This needs to be more than an idea smh

I know exactly what you're referencing, and I love it.

SockPuppet, you put your story idea which was not good before me and said:

“If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!”

What do you take me for that you treat me with such contempt?

Well, iirc, he wanted to run away from Crete with his son, so his choice of pilots was a bit limited.

With what would the ancient Sumerians purchase them? Money wasn't a thing yet.
