2. Motivational Geek Quote
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fear’s path, and only I will remain.” – Paul Atreides Dune (1984)

Thank you for the shout out!
Lots of cool links today and thanks so much for plugging my book's trailer! Not sure where the voting stands right now.
Thanks for the link to Timpedia's post!
I had no idea that Switch was supposed to be androgynous. That makes her fairly interesting.
I admit her character was pretty boring till I found that out.
You got it Alex. It's a great trailer.
