@SWCultureLive It's all the Jar Jar bits he cut out.

I NEED IT! 😳

@SusanSavageLee1 Move to the next part of the story and return later. Sometimes you need to know where you're going to plan.

If you get stuck in a plot line, how do you get unstuck? #writingq #WritingCommunity

@SusanSavageLee1 How long it takes.

What do you consistently underestimate about writing? #writingq #WritingCommunity

@SusanSavageLee1 If your gut is telling you something is wrong, don't ignore it, something is wrong.

What did your worst rejection teach you about your writing? Or did it teach you anything? #writingq #WritingCommunity

@TeaRoseKent All four.

I have the sense that many people are a bit down lately. Is it due to:

@tschrack There will be company idents in the corners, and the story will be structured around product placements.

Coming soon to a theater near you... Netflixamount presents A Warner Bros. Pictures presentation in association with Legendary Entertainment A Skydance Media / Plan B Entertainment production in partnership with Applezon MGM Studios Written by ChatGPT, story architecture by Anthropic, emotional modeling by Google DeepMind, productivity supervision by Microsoft Copilot, and audience calibration by Meta AI.

@AuthorGFAllen Yes, but I believe you also have to be aware of what you're reading, analysing it. Also, looking for new words.

Does reading a lot naturally improve writing ability?

@jondelarroz 1. The films had to make a profit, or they wouldn't have been made. 2. I believe the film is the best adaptation we could have hoped for. 3. They brought millions of fans to read the books.

Christopher Tolkien on The Lord Of The Rings films: “They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25,” Christopher says regretfully. “And it seems that The Hobbit will be the same kind of film.” Oof.

@GAltringham Die Hard keeping Alan Rickman.

Christopher Walken. The Prophecy. Because I said so.

@TeaRoseKent You need to write a script about an assassin who kills people in incredibly violent but amusing ways. They'll snap it up.😉

I think climbing Mt. Everest barefoot and without an ice pick or oxygen mask would be easier than breaking into Hollywood with a flawless, mind-bending, award-winning script.

@SuperSisi Star Wars, Robotron, Gauntlet, Defender and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

If you opened an arcade what are your 5 must have games?

@SusanSavageLee1 Wanting to know how the story turns out... and a little madness too.😉

What keeps you writing when it gets hard? I never feel like I have a choice about this. Writing is not just something I do, but a part of me like a finger or a toe, so I just keep going #writingq #WritingCommunity

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. May you all have a peaceful day, and for those still working, an easy one.

I think Back to the Future is one of the best films to show how to set up story problems and then solve them in an entertaining and emotionally involving way. Still packs a wallop today. They don't make 'em like they used to.

Waiting for the sequel to Stephen King's The Long Walk and the prequel to The Running Man: The Jogging!

This halloween I shall be rewatching classic horror-themed Dr. Who episodes, In no particular order. Seen Daemons (never seen before) and Image, to be followed by Talons, Morbius, Seeds, Stones, Horror, and of course, Pyramids of Mars.

Finished my reread of Stephen King's Pet Semetary, his grimmest most scary book, mainly because the Creeds are so likeable. Onto, Zelazny's Lonesome October, a fun, gruesome tale narrated by Jack the Ripper's dog.
