"

There's a famous Irish writer named Michael Scott, and he writes science fiction, Angela, you'd like him, fantasy, horror.

He's written over 100 books, and he's maybe most famous for this series called The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flannel.

Because he's like this accomplished novelist who was very famous, and then when this man was like around 60 or 65 years old, a television show called The Office came around and turned his name into a joke.

But I hope now people go check out your books.

I mean, they were at the top of the New York Times bestseller list and all, so.

When I was younger, I read this book. And in the book, there was a girl who moved into a new house with her family. And the house had a tower, sort of like a castle might.

It was this tower room on the side of the house. And there was one set of stairs that went up to it. And so there was this one circular room on the third floor of their home.

And this was her space that she declared was hers to sit and think and create. And I had such a clear vision of what this tower room was. And I remember thinking to myself, one day, I'm going to have a house with a circular tower room where I will create.

This couple, they're in a motel and they start to believe that they're infected with Bugs. Oh, gosh. And they are falling in love at the same time.

And to me, there's some stuff I had to watch like through my fingers, like a horror movie, almost.

But no, to me, it's a love story, but it's also like what happens when you get infected with an idea and you're just living in an echo chamber. It's so good.
