We did superlatives for my writing group. They’re pretty funny so I thought I’d share here’s what everyone got. (Part 1/2)

Velli would do fine in Jordan Peele's US unless he ran into a version of himself. Then it's just two clever guys trying to outsmart on another

Either creature feature or psychological. My novel is a combination of both.

Awesome news for me. My short horror story is sitting at almost 10k views and people are asking for a sequel so I’m feeling great.

question: I feel like the relationship of the audience to movies has changed in the past ten or 15 years. They expect the movie to come to them.

answer: Absolutely. They’d rather go home and turn on their TV and see a film that way. And let’s face it, a certain kind of corruption comes in because people go home and they shop around on these streaming platforms. There’s some good things about the platforms. They create a lot of movies. They create a lot of jobs. But there’s so many distractions that you can’t enter the stuff. People watch five minutes of something and they say, β€œI’m not really into it” and they go to another thing. β€œI’m not really into it.” Then another thing. β€œI’m not really into it.” Then they go to bed.

If you don’t put in the effort, you’re not going to receive much. And the discourse gets lowered, and everything gets a little more dumbed down and then that’s when the ruffians come in, and they’re the ones with energy and stupidity and then they can crush all the thoughtful people. That’s not good for culture, and that’s not good for humanity. We see the results of that all the time.

4 lessons learned from writing 450,000 words this year.

1. Plot holes multiply out in the wild

2. Google synonyms for smirk without shame

3. Don’t be afraid to write cliffhangers

4.

Okay, yeah check out No Sleep for sure but make sure you check out the rules they have in the subreddit because there's a lot.

Hey so I think that depends on your genre and your goals. If you write horror and just want to build an audience Reddit is a great place. It's worked well for me. Look at the No Sleep subreddit and the Library of Shadows subreddit. Granted this isn't paid. For fantasy series try Royal Road or Amazon

I've only seen the adaptation on Masters of Horror. It was great. I guess I should check out the real thing though

Martin Scorsese said: β€œThe films I constantly revisit have held up for me over the years not because of plot but because of character.”

The easiest and quickest way to define your protagonist is to give them a choice. That's how all of us are defined in the real world.

In my head he's the type of guy to look at you when you're enjoying your life and give you a pitying look to remind you, you should be sad. Sick image though!

OOOOOf! If it helps I've done this before and gone out my way to point out I didn't hear them beforehand maybe give it a try. It's a funny story now. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
