Look we did NOT start the war. We just borrowed your spy satellite. Giving just one of your dregs to NASA to use as a space telescope is on you. Not funding basic science is on you. Not securing your control api is on you. Bombing first asking questions later, totally on you. With the data we contributed to the Backyard Worlds project, we found a whole brown dwarf system just outside the Oort cloud with a habitable {moon, planet, we’re having our own war just over what to name it}. But don’t blame us for your stupid nuclear war. That’s on you.

#ScribesAndMakers Sep 1: With many new people here, let's do another round of introductions. Tell us something about yourself and your creativity.
I like fucking with genre tropes. I'm socialist going on anarchist as well as feminist and anti-racist, and my writing reflects that. I'm an improviser rather than a planner, so I like to set waypoints in my narratives and then find my way from one to the next.

Sep 5: What would be a major accomplishment on your current project if you could complete it this month?
I'm in the middle of a key story setup chapter. Have been for months. It would be great to finish that.
yeah I hate to say it but "Department of Defense" is a far more Orwellian euphemism
I like this move mostly because it's pointless virtue signalling that will spend billions on replacing floor mats instead of bombs.
Getting a more honest name out of it is a weird bonus.

Nei giorni scorsi è successo di tutto nel mondo dei fan dei Genesis.
È stato pubblicato un gigantesco archivio di 100Gb di registrazioni di ottima qualità degli anni settanta e ottanta, per lo più prese dall'archivio del fonico di sala della band. Un gruppo di fan del gruppo ha lavorato un anno e mezzo per ottenere i nastri, pulirli, mixarli e pubblicarli gratuitamente per tutti e tutte. Si tratta di registrazioni davvero magnifiche e l'entusiasmo online era palpabile.

#ScribesAndMakers 5. What would be a major accomplishment on your current project if you could complete it this month?
I'd love to complete the 1st draft of the final book in a series.
I've got 39k written & aiming for around 60-70k.
But I've received first round of edits for another book from my publisher so that takes precedence.

Very likeable, but kind of missing a plot? There's no character arc? Like she starts off a good person and almost all of her actions are for others. There's no conflict here. It's kinda just nothing happening for the whole movie, and then right at the end we suddenly decide to be a stepcest movie?
Our Lynch link this time is Dan Hedaya. I've been completely forgetting him up to this point, and he's in quite a few things I've seen.
We also have this line!
The image shows two individuals inside a car at night. The person on the left is wearing a dark-colored jacket with a red pattern, and their hair is blonde. The person on the right is wearing a gray sweater and has dark hair. The interior of the car is dimly lit, with the focus on the two individuals. The text at the bottom of the image reads, "Oh, I'm having a Twin Peaks experience." The overall atmosphere is moody and intimate, with the darkness of the night outside the car contrasting with the interior lighting.

Same thing as last month and the month before that: my big-ass climactic fight scene.

For the, like, two people who actually read what I write, this will be the same thing I've been saying for months: I need to write a solid fourth revision of my big climax scene. Considering *everything* I have to do this month, it's... not likely.

Comics. My drawing looks like a 10-year-old did it, but I would *love* to write a script and work with an artist to create a comic book series or an album. I see comics panels in my head as much as I see moving pictures.

A witnessed the power, recently, of "comparables." As in "this book is THAT BOOK YOU LOVE + THAT OTHER BOOK YOU LOVE BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY," and I was like: yes, I *did* love both of those. You got me. I want to read this, now.

in reply to Orion (he/him) • • •#ScribesAndMakers 10 Sept: Do you consider reading a creative activity? Why or why not?
Yes, because when you read, you have to work to interpret the words and create the images in your mind. You cast the characters, make the costumes, decorate the sets, and deliver all the dialogue in your mind. You *created* that experience. The book is a recipe, and you make the meal.

I'm so tempted to say "CHA" (IYKYK), but I wouldn't do that. There's nothing I could write up there that would improve it. The Moon has been with humanity since before there were humans. It doesn't "belong" to me or anyone.

I do research online. It is a *cool breeze* doing fiction research compared to academic work! Ho man. You don't have to quote it! You don't have to cite it! You can take *liberties* with the facts. My god. So freeing.
