The weird โ€œPornโ€ would be well represented if there was.

Iโ€™m surprised โ€œPissโ€ isnโ€™t the largest word TBH

What you failed to realize is that I have a project Iโ€™m obsessed with correctly and my ignoring powers are strong.

Iโ€™m of the opinion that no, it is not strictly necessary in every type of story or scene. But, in my opinion, tension is. As long as you have a source of tension the story can be pulled forward.

Itโ€™s weird to hit the Like button on a comment about anxiety and laundry, just sayinโ€™

So we need to schedule it soon then before Attack of the Sentient Laundry gets green lit for a sequel?

By โ€œneverโ€ I assume you mean not until the crossover episode ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜€

Maybe she can intimidate it into submissionโ€”brandishing her twin backscratchers like a ninja turtle until it cowers in fear.

I have a deep love for the publishing industry and have sat down several times to sketch out a business plan to start my own little imprint. Iโ€™ve yet to get the maths to work, so kudos to you and anyone else doing it.

I'm calling my writing challenge over a day early. I completed a screenplay, start to finish in just under 2 weeks. It's a bit shorter than the 110 pages I anticipated, coming in at 94 pages, and it's a mess that will require extensive rewrites. But hey, I did it.

This sounds like something Iโ€™ll really like. Iโ€™ll look for a place to pre order it here in the states.

Aww thank you! It's over this Sunday and I just hit page 75, so it's really going to come down to the wire if I fail or not.
