shower thinking is the secret to writing success, not the slop machine. most of my creative breakthroughs happen in the shower
In the shower this morning, I realized I have to change the entire setting of my current project. This will have time-consuming ramifications throughout, but it's best for the WIP.
When you pop a prompt into the slop machine, you don't get realizations. Just output. Nutritionless slop, never cooked

If it sucks today, and it sucks tomorrow, and it sucks the next day, and sucks next week, and sucks next month, I keep going, and maybe eventually, it won't suck, but that shit doesn't happen if I give up. It's easier said than done. It is. But man, I've got to keep going. And I hope you do, too🍀

How come reply guys, when called out, always resort to "couldn't resist a joke" or "just a joke"? There's no humor, nothing funny, just being a pest.
I wrote a story about guys being pests, and it starts with "just a joke." It doesn't end with a laugh though. Their interactions never do.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder
And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers
