Writer Robert Brockway published his book Everything is Going to Kill Everybody after following his Five Incredibly Difficult Steps to become an author. I'm at step 3, "Doing an Assload of Research". Brockway's article has taught me a truism that had never occurred to me, yet seems to make so much sense: LeVar Burton is a dirty motherfucking liar.
