Well this was fascinating- thought about the Dune worms alot while reading it and wondered if this little guy was the inspiration or if the movie version was just plucked from someone’s imagination. I’m glad you posted,I love encountering interesting bits of trivia (especially nature related) much more than many opinion pieces on how to be a better you or do something better than you do lol! Thanks for sharing this knowledge.

Thank you for the nice words! I was also wondering if Dune's worms were inspired by these little creepy hunters. I found out that the Bobbit worm has been known to biologists since 1790, so it is possible that Frank Herbert knew about them

Not sure about if it’s better for gathering fans but I like it. I’m also interested in wide variety of shit and at this stage can’t find a particular style to write in. Figure it’s a good way to hone the craft .

Yeah same. When I think about what I want to do I really want to be able to write about random stuff that interests me, so I figured it’s better to build an audience that would enjoy that from the beginning

I’m learning from you it’s ok to write about anything that interests you at the time . Definitely going to follow you once a week output as way to practice. The start of our new school is coming up so that’ll be my commencement date. Thanks man.
