“Amanda was always on her way somewhere. Sometimes she thought that feeling of moving forward was the only one she trusted. She just wondered whether she’d know when she was there.”
Rachel Shukert, Starstruck

“You’ve been in Hollywood long enough to know that all the real acting happens offscreen.”
Rachel Shukert, Love Me

“Now, through an act as simple as walking across a stage and collecting an empty plastic folder representing a degree, our stock had plummeted to nothing, the wretched leavings of some cosmic Ponzi scheme. A lifetime's worth of planning and training and delusion gone with the wind. Some of us were moving home to live free of charge in our parents' guest rooms, or if we were thin enough, heading west to try our luck in L.A.; others, to our collective horror, were being forced to work at actual jobs.”
Rachel Shukert, Everything Is Going to Be Great: An Underfunded and Overexposed European Grand Tour

message 1: by Elle!

Elle! Thank you for the add! I see you are a fan of Roy L too. I also like anything that's Dan De Carlo style , thick inky lines , smoky shadows, one single tear running down the cheek. I love old comics especially those 40s love comics lol. I am pleased you responded personally and like my review (not many authors are willing to do that). Have a wonderful day!
