What, then, is truth? A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms—in short, a sum of human relations which have been enhanced, transposed, and embellished poetically and rhetorically, and which after long use seem firm, canonical, and obligatory to a people: truths are illusions about which one has forgotten that this is what they are; metaphors which are worn out and without sensuous power; coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins.

Friedrich Nietzsche, On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense (via ludimagister)

The greatest mania of all is passion. And I am a natural slave to passion. The balance between my brain and my soul and my body is as wild and delicate as the skin of a Ming vase.

Hunter S. Thompson  (via acideyedrops)

NEED BETA READERS

So my current crop of beta readers have kind of crapped out on me. I need some more serious critique of my work before it’s ready to publish. If you’re interested, have a decent grasp of the English language, and have the time to read and critique 20,000 words every two weeks, please let me know. 

Throwing myself into self-publishing means I need my work to be the very best. I can’t afford professional editors at this point, and I know I’m no where near perfect. 

If you’re interested, please drop your email in my ask box. I would appreciate it more than I can say here.
