Where did the writer's block go? You used to get a writing prompt every time you visited the site when you were about to post something. On the app I don't see anything.

As a writer, you learn how to make stories short, and avoid writing stories about large groups of people.
The Walking Dead could have been done in one season. Like any other television show, it is merely a collection of short stories strung together. If it centered on one character instead of an ensemble cast with episodes subdivided into adventures ( Read more... )

There is a part in the movie Joe Dirt where Christopher Walken says "You're talking to my man all wrong, do it again and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron."
On Facebook in 2021, during Christopher Walken's birthday, someone posted a picture of Christopher Walken as a child. I jokingly changed the quote to "You're talking to my mom all ( Read more... )

People who kill for inheritance money are incredibly short sighted. I've seen a lot of true crime stories, and it's just not logical. Say for example if an inheritance is something like $100,000. Okay, that's a big sum, but you can only get it once, and that's it. If you let the person live, they can continue earning money, and maybe even give you ( Read more... )

I hate the phrase "Wintery mix." They're so detached from reality in the warm studio that they make up cute things to say about the most horrible of conditions.
The weather man stands in front of the board and basically says, "Yeah, there's a little clatch of ice and sub zero temperatures out there. Just a little get- together of hypothermia and ( Read more... )

I didn't know exactly why I decided to keep a poinsettia, I guess it was because I'm writing at ET fanfiction, but today God used it as an object lesson.
I ran out of my bipolar meds, and I was about to go into a panic attack.
The mantra from the secular support group I attended was "distressing but not dangerous" but I need something more faith ( Read more... )

There's some confusion about the phrase "show don't tell." That's why movies like Avatar have clumsy opening narration.
Although Avatar has strong visuals, Cameron made the mistake of having the narrator tell in his dialogue instead of showing.
It's not enough to just have them tell a story with video illustrations. You have to be able to add details ( Read more... )

I wrote a novel with aliens and setting similar to Avatar. I finished writing it about ten years before it came out. I would claim plagiarism, but when I'm honest with myself, I realize I've just watched too damn many movies. I watch a movie in a theater every week, more on television. And that's been my habit for most my life. Probably half my ( Read more... )

The first time I got banned for thirty days was due to making a post about the Mash tv show. I said that the book was an unfunny offensive story that got made into an unfunny slightly less offensive movie as a veiled Vietnam war protest, then it became a funny TV show.
I don't know why Facebook said that was against their policy. They were ( Read more... )
