Really short and nice, with a good JUST DO IT vibe to it. It's nothing new, really, but I like reminding myself of what I should be doing with my life.

Keep reminding yourself why you do this. How this will change your life. When you know your why, you can use it to fuel your writing and your daily practice.

Sigh.
I really should. DO IT, I mean.

I still can't say for sure if this is a one-shot story or if it's the beginning of a series. Goodreads tells me one thing, the book tells tells me another, I'm... Am I missing something here? I'll go with one-shot for now, if only because I can't picture a nice sequel, it pretty much ended where it did. Now... Encounter. It was a nice book, I guess. Short, which is great; read quickly, with an interesting albeit messy narrative — meaning, we had both objective descriptions of what was going on in the camera recording and long, deep insights of what the characters were thinking. I didn't care much for the romance, which was definitely a downer, but I really just couldn't understand

Spoiler

how Ricky and Josh's friendship worked in the first place; how were they even friends? I get that the point is that they are opposites and those are attracted by each other yada yada I guess, but this? Josh was an annoying asshat all the time, Ricky didn't really seem to like him until he did, and the coming out scene... yeah.

I wish we'd gotten more aliens and less crop shenanigans.
