So, the artist's name is Matt Taylor. @matttaylordraws on Instagram. Beautiful work.

Robert Paulson really should have gotten a lot more credit for his contributions to this film. It’s a shame he’s not recognized in Hollywood for the many hats he wore on this production.

Too much red. Okay, I like it. He is undoubtedly Matt. Yes, I cheated. Very cool illustration. Thanks for sharing.

What are the different approaches you can take to ending a story? Are there any common mistakes to avoid?

Edit: I know you touched on this a bit in Consider This. I’m just wondering if there are some common approaches that we can take and also consider combining together. Please forgive me if you touched on this more than I remember. I do remember that one cliche to avoid is killing your main character at the end because your reader has to go on living.

I hate how so many people on social media are so desperate for attention and validation and likes and views. They equate their self-worth with those trivial numbers. I don't understand it. Why do people think that?

Is an incredible recall necessary for a writer? Over and over I’m struck by your distinct examples from fiction to illustrate this point or that point. I find this difficult to do.

“His name was Robert Paulson.” Rest In Peace, Meat Loaf. Man— what a rough year this is turning out to be. I give up. Loosing way too many family members, friends and people that enriched my life. I’m seriously done. This week has been hell for me—- I’ve got nothing left.

I cant process that I'd seen this and then a few hours later found out that Meat Loaf passed away. The world feels a little more empty right now. But I'll always have Robert Paulson.
