@NewestPapa @MattWalshBlog They go into pretty graphic detail of warfare and violence—especially the Indian one. I would watch before letting your kids see them.

@MattWalshBlog Can anyone suggest the age appropriateness range for each of these?

The next two episodes of Real History will cover the civil rights era and its consequences, which have been disastrous. The first part begins with the true story of MLK Jr.

@lucendacier @moniza_hossain This. First person is objectively harder to pull off well. There’s a lot more to consider in terms of style and perspective than in third.

@moniza_hossain Admittedly some of those techniques have become overused, often in stories that aren't very good. So while there's nothing immediately wrong with, say, 1st person POV, it can still be a warning sign.

I’m so tired of people declaring perfectly normal literary techniques “bad writing”. 1st person pov isn’t bad. Dual pov isn’t bad. Prologues aren’t bad. Dream sequences aren’t bad. These are all tools. People need to stop confusing personal preferences with objective critique

@moniza_hossain @JadeBlack21 There’s nothing objectively wrong with first person. It IS objectively harder to pull off or do well than third. My personal preference is to avoid it apart from the classics.

because evil in reality is boring. Enslavement to the passions. Inebriation on power. “You hurt me so I’ll hurt you.” It’s not interesting when you really think about it, and it’s the same thing over and over. People striving to become better people: that’s what is captivating.

My first villain is the only one I find really interesting, mainly because of his wit and charm and what he could have been. My other villains are not interesting, and that’s about right. They’re boring in a good way. A realistic way. The stories are much less about them

Drives me nuts 😂 So rarely done well, and so often these little info dumps come in the form of "As you know, Bob..." and make no sense for the characters to be discussing or even thinking about (because they already know). The ol' bait and switch: signed up for a badass thriller, got handed a textbook of wikipedia articles in print. Jokes aside, I like well-researched books, and I do enjoy books that make me learn something within the story. It's all in the execution.

I'm sick and tired of being told the difference between main stream and genre writing is a matter of intelligence of writers or readers. That is self-flattering nonsense from people who want to write about unpleasant people doing unpleasant things in the most boring way possible. :-P You know where the link to the rant is.

Woke up this morning struggling with worldly dissatisfaction and discontent and a general spiritual frustration and unease in my soul. It was a mood that was not of God and was not healthy spiritually. So I battled it with gratitude - started thanking Him for the birds I could hear singing (I love birds so much!), then for the trees, then for the fact that I had been given another day of life. Prayed for my boys, had a small spat with hubs (natch), resolved it (after 36 years you don’t give too much weight to these things), had a phone meeting that could have gone off the rails but ended up on a very positive note. Feeling much better. Thank you Jesus. If your Monday started off badly, start with the birds and work your way back to Him.

@MillerDakotaJ I really enjoy certain parts of the editing process! But I happen to have an English degree, so I know grammar and punctuation, which helps make it feel less painless and even fun.

I know there are some people who cannot see images in their heads. Are any writers out there like that? If so, how do you imagine your world?

Today my wife and I dropped by our local bookstore & saw a couple of teenage girls crowded around a display of classics. One said, “Oh my God, I love Dostoevsky.” Her friend replied, “I’m obsessed with the Oresteia Trilogy.” So long as books remain beloved, there is still hope.

I often see the question, “How do writers get inspired for a writing session?” For me, the short answer is, I don’t. I ’ve trained myself to just sit down and get on with it. Just a practical writer, thinking about writing…

@klhicks912 Would 1000% depend on who would be making it and whether I trusted them with my characters/story

@HJamesWrites I hate so much when I activate Siri without meaning to and it talks to me and jump out of my skin!!!! That’s my “weird voice coming from my Mac” experience 🤣

I must have pressed something on my Mac because all of a sudden, there was a voice reading to me. And I'm listening, trying to figure out what it's reading, and I'm thinking, damn, this story is good, but whose book is that? Then I realized it was reading my manuscript. 😂😅🤣 I love my story.

Trying to get more active on social media again. If you like fantasy with tons of heart and depth, exploring the themes that really matter, you’ll love the Herezoth trilogy!
