Old enough to have had a Commodore 64 and Atari 2600.

That's why he didn't take my offer, I reckon.

Also, Judas is vilified for doing what God made him do. Seems harsh. And 20 pieces of silver is 20 pieces of silver.

The best way really is to just start. You might chop and change, write and rewrite, many times but you will find a way to make it come together. Writing notes and a list of plot points helps, or even writing out the separate sections and then finding a way to make them meet. Don't get bogged down in the minutiae of sentences and paragraphs. Getting the bare bones down is your starting point. I used a spreadsheet and would add in new points and landmarks as and when they came to me. I still ended up spending ages editing, and adding, and amending until it felt right. Taxing but cathartic to get it all out.

A sequel to my first novel that people regularly ask me about 12 years after I finished it. I published it myself and sold to friends, family, work acquaintances. Two young kids and a busy job wildly delayed any free time I might have for grand modern fantasy. One of these years.

I got a permanent ban for quoting a movie, in a post about that movie, because the quote contained a slur. My new account got a permanent ban because I made a joke that wasn't racist but happened to be about an Indian guy. Reddit sucks ass.

'People II: The Reckoning' is a banger.

That's why I downloaded, review, and keep an excellently curated list of only bangers.
