I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.
YIKES, no thanks. I’m gonna be alive inside every damn thing I do, even and especially the ish I don’t wanna do.

There are 79 working days left in 2025. If you write 1 1/2 pages a day, every working day, you can finish a script before New Years. If you write 3 pages a day, you could complete a novel.
1000 words a day, roughly 4 pages, and you could write three scripts.
A page at a time comes together quickly

Give a writer a deadline, and it can be written in a day.
But *let* a writer set a deadline, and it will not be written for a lifetime.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.
An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.
So finish the thing.

Using AI is risking plagiarism, and nothing will kill a writer's career quicker or deader than that.
AI lacks flavor, and the special sauce of any writer is the flavor they put there themselves.
Writers and Editors FUCKING HATE AI. Who becomes a writer to become disrespected?
AI: not even once.

Caught another writer using AI & they were promptly let go.
I can not stress this enough: Any editor worth anything can AND WILL catch you if you're using AI to write. It's not slick, it's not subtle, & so many behavioral patterns beyond the writing are dead giveaways.
Do the work or get out.
