I watched Inu-Oh! The movie was 1h 38m long. tbh it was a cool movie! The main focus of the movie was music, and it was done really well! Some scenes felt like actual concerts, and the energy was contagious! The movie had really cool visuals as well, the style was really unique! It was a fun watch!

Writing a novel is a love affair. ~ I'm at that point in writing where I need to remember why I'm in love with the characters, and why I want to tell their stories. ~ Staying IN LOVE is part of it.

Two of my muses: Maria Schneider & Victorine Meurent.
