Editing: the process of swerving wildly between “hey, this part turned out pretty good!” and “dear Lord, I have wasted my life”
What happened to the guys in the red velvet jumpsuits? Who was the girl in the bare midwife Little Swiss Miss costume that came off the mother ship?
Why beam things into people’s heads & then radio in the coordinates? Literally everything about the aliens was terrifying up until the very end so how did they know they were friendly? What happened to the super tall alien? He stepped out, did the Jesus Christ Superstar, then vanished.
Watched Close Encounters for the first time in 20 years & realized nothing about that movie makes any sense at all. Why were aliens kidnapping Americans for the last 100 years? Why kidnap Barry for a couple of days? Why was the UN involved in Mongolia but it’s just the US & France at the end?
As a semi-Pantser, I have to say editing is a great cure for writers block
My paternal grandfather was an ambulance driver in WW1 & later founded a construction company. My maternal grandfather was in the Navy during WW2 & then worked as a fireman.
so it was a major fail all around.
pick up the phone & call? Spending a couple of episodes building up Darem's bad relationship w/his parents only to have him never interact with them at all? A ludicrous system of government clearly intended solely as a plot device? I'm guessing this was supposed to be an homage to Amok Time but if

Write drunk, edit sober
Yep, I’m gonna have to print this puppy out to organize it #amwriting
I would really like to spend my days reading, writing & putting my little models together. Thank you for your attention to these matters.
Starfleet Academy continues to improve. Characters with complex backgrounds & motivations, great special effects that don’t smother the story. Clearly pitched at a YA audience but grognards can enjoy it too
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords seems increasingly appealing as a basis for a system of government.
Just finished "Lucas Wars," the graphic novelization of the making of the original Star Wars. Absolutely brilliant telling of a deeply moving story. Highly recommended to any writers or artists seeking inspiration for what they do.
Starfleet Academy is good
Finished a little Christmas project
I vote to make this mandatory for the US Congress
Excellent book on the Mars Fad that swept America & Europe in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries with an emphasis on Percival Lowell, the inventor of the infamous canals. It’s also a timely story on the power of the media and the strength of scientific misinformation. #amreadi̇ng
Slaughterhouse Five. Can't go wrong with Vonnegut

Ow
To say nothing of the run in the 70's when Cap discovered that the head of the Secret Empire was literally Richard Nixon who then promptly committed suicide
