It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45. It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.

Vasant Salcedo @vasantsalcedo.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Very excited to see this play out onscreen! Curious - what's your approach to building that chemistry after casting during production? You have a special eye for spotting it, but then how do you feed it, nurture it as the film gets to done? 010 1

Vasant Salcedo @vasantsalcedo.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Empathy is toxic to the narcissist. Dead giveaway if anyone believes empathy is bad. Empathy eats away and undermines personal/cultural belief systems (non-religious) that makes them feel powerful and in control. To guard against empathy is to strengthen false-truth. 022 2
Vasant Salcedo @vasantsalcedo.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Schneider doesn't get enough credit. He's done so much for the #Seahawks for so long and he's done more than enough to earn our trust even if we're entering a rebuild. ...unless he signs Rodgers. Then we riot. 020 2
