Be the author of your own story. Your inner narrative will dictate your actions. Your inner narrative holds immense power in shaping your perception of reality and the way you navigate through life. It is the voice that whispers in your ear, coloring your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
“You are the author of your own life story. You have the leading role and get to determine how you interact with your supporting cast and other characters. Without realizing it, you may have allowed the events in your life to write your story for you rather than taking deliberate action to write it in your own voice. What will it take to love your life story to create the happy endings you desire?”
― Susan C. Young ―
“ You are the author of your own life...Don't let others define it for you. Real power comes by doing what you are meant to be doing, and doing it well.”
― Oprah Winfrey ―

This is by no means a Bookmaker toast.
It is a toast for book-makers, i.e. authors.
Toast with eggsalad, pickled cucumber, chives, Miguel Vergara Striploin from "my" local butchershop and Parmesan sauce on top.
Not bad for a lunch, home alone.

An imaginary place that resembles several stops I remember along the many U.S. and State Highways in the midwest. Sometime during the 60's and 70's.
It's a work-in-progress. As I think of an object I remember from back then I will add it. I'm thinking about raising the building a foot or two and adding a porch and roof overhang that spans the entire front of the building. Then turning it into a grocery store/gas station.

After putting some space between me and the checkpoint, I changed out of the flamboyant uniform and into my usual outfit. Kusror, who had just arrived from Vala's ship, greeted me at our rendezvous point.
My next assignment: I would be disabling the base of and taking out the leader of the Futurists, a group who worked against our cause and for the remnant Empire. After searching the streets, Kusror and I found the specified location: an old 'abandoned' warehouse, which now served as the base for the Futurists.
I glanced over at Kusror, who nodded, and we both smashed through a window and into the building. We had taken the Futurists by surprise, and I was able to easily take out a few of them and eventually their leader, who was a Chiss sporting some sort of Mandalorian armor.
Just as we placed the bombs to detonate the warehouse, I noticed a hooded figure dash through a side door and into an alleyway. Before the figure disappeared, a flash from what seemed to be a medallion or insignia on their chest blinded me. After recovering from the flash, I pursued the figure through the door, only to find a bustling street full of civilians; the figure had vanished.
Kusror ran out to me. "Let's go, the warehouse will blow any second." Still puzzled about the mysterious figure, Kusror dragged me out the door and into the alleyway. Just a few moments later, I heard an explosion, and looked through the door to see a fiery mess of the Futurists' hideout. The mission was complete.

I'm quite pleased with how this build turned out! It was made for The Survivors RPG Tournament 2, round 2 against [https://www.flickr.com/photos/11287890@N02/]. Tell me what you thought of the build, and be sure to check out my round 1 build here: www.flickr.com/photos/185269945@N06/50672651761/in/datepo...
I've also just hit 200 followers, so expect a post on that and more builds soon (I'm working on my application to Dark Times at the moment!)

Korean-American Author Chang-rae Lee being interviewed as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival earlier today. I just finished reading his last novel, On Such a Full Sea, which is very interesting and only slightly dystopian. Recommended!
Chang-rae Lee talked quite a bit about his positive relationship with his mother, his amazing female heroine Fan who is an integral part of On Such a Full Sea and wanting to create a heroine for his daughters to love, growing up in Queens, NYC in the 1980s, trends now in terms of competitiveness in class in the US, and industry in China. He has a very calming voice as well as an intelligent one and I enjoyed hearing him.

I also saw Salman Rushdie before him but was too far away so only posted a screen shot from my phone on Instagram:
(Usually I have an all cats Instagram posting on Caturday so that's really something!) Rushdie was also great to see interviewed. He possesses such a great insight and humor sumultaneously. He made me laugh quite a bit and when I told him in person how much Ground Beneath Her Feet (my favorite novel of his) means to me, he acted as if that actually mattered, which is nice.
Also, not pictured, I had the delight to see Sarah Vowell as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival a week an a half ago at the Chicago Art Institute. She was quite hilarious as usual and had a great deal to say about modern art and politics. She also talked to me during the signing and said something like this,
"It's really cool the way the light from above hits your red hair in this certain way that you can't obviously see because you're not me sitting here looking at you." It was pretty funny. Overall, a really amazing Chicago Humantiies Lineup this time around!
