What’s it like inside your head?

I don’t know, have a plot, don’t have a plot, it’s up to you, whatever suits your sensibility. All writers are different. Write what you know, or make shit up out of whole cloth. Show don’t tell, or tell like a motherfucker. Just write. Write, write, write, write. You’ll figure it out.

“Tony [Gilroy] finally turned to me, and he said, ‘Hey, you just got to stop pitching plot. Plot is bullshit. Plot is what happens when you get the behavior right. Pitch me a line of dialogue, pitch me atmosphere, pitch me something visual. Stop pitching stuff that happens.’” 1/2

I believe the term for this is "F.O."

Just finished this. Wow. So. The Little House books are wild colonialist and ~self-sufficiency~ propaganda, AND they were probably a bigger influence on me than anything else I read as a kid. That and a set of kids' encyclopedias that I absolutely devoured (shoutout to Childcraft). 🧵

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie that came out when you were 20 years old...

Gonna say something controversial, bordering on blasphemous. Akira & the original Ghost in the Shell are important films & technical masterpieces of animation. Neither are *great* movies, mainly because they tried to cram complex, lengthy works into a 2 hour runtime & the story suffers due to it.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Narratess is over, but you can still get my small-scale, slice-of-life isekai fantasy novel about siblings, stories & second chances for $1.99 until the end of today. Treat yourself! You deserve it! #booksky #writesky #indiefantasy #fantasybooks #ebooks #Kindle #kobo #d2d #Indieauthor
