@zombie-rhythm Cool. Love your positive thinking. Go for it!
I remember some books from my childhood that had a nice flow of story where anything could happen. The way you are writing reminds me of Eric Kastner: The 35th of May, or Conrad's Ride to the South Seas. I read it a long long long time ago but it just popped in my mind.
Thank you very much for the encouragement. Those were some interesting words of one being too critical of their own work. This really resonates with Jake's "finished, not perfect" I have to review how I am thinking about my work.
Checked out your youtube. You're in Barcelona? Such a great, inspirational city.
