On one hand, I’m happy. On the other hand, Mullins isn’t really an improvement.

It’s a running joke about how writers commit tons of research into a very brief moment in their story, but it’s something to be proud of. It indicates that you care about the minutia and finer details of your writing. That you take it seriously.

I can always appreciate it when a show is willing to end things on its own terms.
If you think the government wouldn’t do something, they probably already have.

Finished #REANIMAL the other night.
Exactly as good as I was hoping for. The folks at Tarsier Studios outdid themselves here, providing an excellent evolution on the Little Nightmares formula with some of the best atmosphere and setpieces they’ve ever cooked up.
Can’t wait for the DLC.
Couple goals
What does your protagonist value? What do they want to achieve? What are their beliefs and rules? These are the things that help define your character. You threaten them, you threaten the character. You force them to look at themselves and ask “How hard am I willing to fight over this?”
The key to having meaningful stakes in your story isn’t to make them big or world-ending. At a certain point, the scope of a threat can become so large that the audience can’t grasp it.
The key to having meaningful stakes is to make them PERSONAL.

I guess it depends on the type of comedy you’re writing, but honestly it may be a better idea to hold off on the comedy for a bit, to really indicate that it’s a serious threat. One of the most important parts of a comedic character is recognizing when to NOT be funny.
Idk if this helps but the person you’re comparing yourself to likely does/suffers from the same thing. Hell, they may very well be looking at YOU and going “God I’ll never be as good as them.”
There isn’t any kind of requirement, and it depends largely on the bill itself. In simple terms the chapter should be as long as it needs to be to convey all the necessary information without going overboard.
We love to see a strong female character
Alright, let’s do this.
Infernopolis. Some poor guy goes to Hell, joins a mafia full of goofy fellas, gets roped into a gang conflict, and must learn to cope with his new life or die horribly. Available in paperback and kindle format. Currently writing the sequel.

Everyone is outraged. I’M outraged. That’s the only “positive” here. The current hope is that people wake up and start taking stuff into their own hands against those responsible.
Unfortunately, there’s no silver lining. The Epstein debacle is bigger and more horrible than any of us could’ve expected. Our entire administration is complicit in it, and even if the midterms go favorably for the Dems, there’s no guarantee anything will actually be done.
We gotta throw the whole country away at this point
Shit. Total shit. Complete and utter shit. Absolutely apocalyptic levels of shit. Nobody wanted or asked for it. That it exists at all is downright insulting to human decency.
Fuck you Darren.
The harsh truth about writing a book is that you can’t do everything you want. Even if you have good ideas and multiple books to explore them, some are gonna wind up on the cutting room floor. You gotta figure out what’s truly essential.

Lemme have uuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh 1920s fashion style
They’re gonna extort you for all of your catnip and then dump your body behind a convenience store (whereupon it will be ripped apart and eaten).
Bonus Vinnie cause that really is just his entire character.
