It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.
Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.
Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

Seen on the streets of Taipei. I don't know what this machine does, and perhaps that's for the best.

The neighbors survived yesterday, so I fed them some hazelnuts we had accidentally burned and they ate them up.
Then again, they eat cigarette butts, so who am I to judge?

WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW

Day 28 #NoirvemberChallenge Film Noir you watch over and over again? Been trying not to pick the same flick twice in one year, but I can't count the number of times I've watched Night and the City.

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

Celebrated Thanksgiving after getting off the plane in Singapore at 10pm with chili oil chicken, dumplings, morning glory with shrimp paste, shrimp, and forgetting it was Thanksgiving until we got in bed and looked at the internet.
