Outside Robert Lang Studios in Washington, where #Nirvana, #FooFighters, #DeathCabforCutie, #Bush, #Heart, #PeterFrampton, and others have recorded. The studio is located inside a brick house just off the street. There's a great view of Puget Sound across the street. Very cool neighborhood.

“Edie was always attracted to, and was attractive to, brilliant and crazy people. And they were seriously in love with her. Next to her, you were strong in a way, because she was so weak and so strong. These types of people just keep being born and turning up in each generation.” - Danny Fields

Come up with a simple plot and fill it with complex characters.

Sit on a bench where people congregate. #Describe three people in as much detail as possible: their gestures, what they're wearing, and what they're saying. Don't pass judgment. Let the descriptions do the talking. #Writer #Writing #WritingPrompt #Exercise #Write

Today, in 1978, The Cars released their self-titled debut album, which included six classics (Moving in Stereo, Good Times Roll, Just What I Needed, Bye Bye Love, My Best Friend's Girl, You're All I've Got Tonight). It still sounds great.😊

#StanleyKubrick's coming of age as a photojournalist: Prizefighter. #Published in Look Magazine in January 1949, the story depicted scenes from the life of Bronx-born boxer, Walter Cartier. The images would also serve as the basis of #StanleyKubrick's first #film, Day of the Fight.

In a world full of nonsense, fatted calves and gilded imbeciles, I will continue to write about monsters, witches, vampires, ghosts, demons and supernatural creatures. Research is a savior. I don't ascribe to false gods and prophets and smoke. I create demons with real names. I am a monster maker.🖤

If a scene isn't coming together, keep this tip in mind.

The beginning of the scene should frame what the whole scene is about.

The scene should then funnel down to a single point, with the most important line of dialogue stated last.
