History is a pack of lies about events that NEVER HAPPENED told by PEOPLE who weren't there.

What I'm interested in doing in a story is bringing certain different languages, PEOPLE, events TOGETHER and then letting the READER make what he WANTS of it.

It is inappropriate to DISCUSS MATTERS of business, pleasure or CURRENT events in the temple.

My best tip: Create re-occurring calendar events for your EXERCISE TIMES. When a conflict arises, it forces you to consciously choose WORK over exercise, and often you'll FIND you have time for both.
