People’s Opinions – The Motivation Killer
"You're really spending a lot of time with that writing?" I've wanted to write about this for a while now.

I love it not only to find cool books, meet new people, and talk about the books we love, but also because it's a great place to brainstorm with like-minded people. One thing we talked about a little while ago was working... Continue Reading →
