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.

If it fits in the luggage gauge, it's fine, wheels or not.

If there's no luggage gauge, that's on the airline or airport, not the passenger.

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.

Who'd believe the guy who acts like a massive twat all the time is actually a massive twat?

Shirts that should be destroyed and never mentioned again.

I have a similar thing where I've been trying for 15 years to remember an artist. I can say that she's British and female. I still don't grasp how you can't have even a smidgen of alternative info. Rock or Industrial might've been obvious things to have remembered at a minimum for something you listened to on repeat, or some descriptive like powerful or bleak. Anything at all.

Glad you found it, though.

I still don't understand how you can't provide more clarity. I mean, it's rap or it isn't. It's metal or it isn't. It's jazz or it isn't. The impression should be enough to provide something of substance. Imagine it was Bob Dylan. You'd recall it was a guy with a guitar at the least.

How do you know it's a good album but can't say the genre or what it sounds like? I don't understand. Is it Country? Jazz? Metal? Pop?

Also, if you know it's a good album, you must have some other info, however small. Lyrics? Male or female vocalist? Fast or slow? Guitars? Piano?
