It's fairly toxic and politically incorrect and fantastic. Gory and Fairly tasteless. Great show

Archer Season 8 is peak TV. Entertaining AF

Is blade a trilogy or is it just 3 movies? I'm asking because I'm now wondering if I misunderstood those films

The point isn't to "add" or get better. But I'm stopping here because I fear there's a lot underneath what you're saying

Oh yeah. The setting is tomorrow. Standalone follow up to Tre-erde.There are slight tech advancements that play a role. Anyway, in this contemporary world, the great tree is suddenly there but dormant out in the ocean. It's about the folks realizing their role as gatekeepers between worlds. Literary

The Day The Island Of Flesh Washed Upon The Shore. Difficult to write.

It's true. Or the narrator just didn't suit me.

#writers the trick to writing present tense is avoiding or overusing "is", the same as in past tense avoiding or overusing "was". And its not just removing the word that is the issue. You need to give yourself liberty to be creative with the language and tone

Trying this approach to this novel that's different and more streamlined #writing Yes, fewer characters, less plot. I've never liked a time of plot. I liked GoT because it was something I'd never want to do

Newsflash. Writing #novels is hard AF.

I don't know. If there are only personal benefits to achieving your goal, I don't have a problem with you giving up on it.

Reading the first 9k words to make sure it all actually makes sense. Not the plot but the tone and delivery

I have an idea for a book series. Imagine 6 Feet Under meets Oceans 11.

I have no idea how to talk about what I'm #writing. Neither do I have the energy to find out how. It won't be done till Christmas but hype should start now. I don't want folks to miss this one.

This coffee shop is playing Linkin Park. This music sucks, at least right now. Thought I'd throw that in there

Whatever Marvel show I'm watching, it's truly stupid. On an insulting level. But I've gone too far

I saw it with my daughter. Although frustrating to watch this kid go through her thing, it ALL makes sense. It's still me how scary, too.

If you make money with your art or have clients because of your art, you will be the FIRST ones ai ๐Ÿ’• impacts. Why? Because it's the area where it doesnt need to be perfect. And if you think people want more people interactions, I think you're wrong.

Damn. Who the hell is Matt Gage, and how much cash?

I'm writing this scene. Again, it's like nothing I've written. Just such an unusual premise for a scene. I'd rather have a staff of writers take something like this on.

And, eventually, I just might

I'm learning that my new work will be in first person. Really happy to finally hear the narrative and not just see the images. Big deal for me

Been doing practice writing for this novel for a while. Tonight the real file starts. This might be the most difficult novel I've attempted.

But...go read Tre-erde. Go read Katy of Clay. Oh, yeah.

Folks taking group selfies in public is kind of disgusting.

It's an opinion he stated, not a proposed rule. Just ignore it if you don't agree. That said, the best part of not having an outline are the opportunities it presents. Just shoo him away. It's all good
