I feel like I'm with you on this. often I find re-reading a story I did puts me in editing mode. "OK let's change this part... there done. Oh dang it, there's another one..." mumbling to self. I have also found that I feel frustrated by some of the way shows are written on TV or movies for...

Hey Charles! Wow. That's a very good point. And I didn't know they made the Black Lightning show and character to have a faith system. Thanks.

OK so... when you are watching Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds there's a scene where Captain Pike prays. I thought this is was amazing because in ALL of the Star Trek series, movies, and so on... all of them put together that has NEVER HAPPENED before! This really is worth...

RR basically... went after me for no reason. I think someone weaponized them. It was very strange. I still don't fully understand what happened. But I'd not done anything wrong except had bad editing skills.

Well said. I didn't know that series was written way back then. An Isekai version of the Last Ship might be a really interesting plot actually for some new story.

That's one of the classic problems with people taking over others series. You see this in Star Trek and other things where the new authors seem to be trying to 'conquer' the old characters and previous systems. People don't like that much. Other writers realllyyy don't like that. You made a...

I hear ya. That's how it is at our house too. Other family members don't want to share the remote haha. I would really like to see them get some new writers for many shows we see on TV. SNW has potential, but some of the writing is dumb. There's some episodes that kick ass and that you are like...

We live in a world where bad things happen and we're mortal. So naturally the people who turn to be heroes have to be self sacrificing. This means... yes, they have to be people full of love. If you look at people making those sacrifices, its people with love and courage together. So yes, that's...

So... when I'm watching Strange New Worlds... they make you want to hate the Vulcans. Its kind of lame and a turn off. They do this... every time there's a vulcan come onto the set, the first thing that happens is they tell you all the humans stink badly. And make a big deal about it. Then they...

I doubt any of that stuff is healthy anymore. I used to raise ducks. And in the process I had to learn about what it took for a hen to be healthy enough to produce eggs. In that process I realized that even the farm food isn't that healthy that goes to the animals. And that they require a...

You want to be careful to read the user agreements for those sites. Apart from these kinds of sites, some traditional publishers may have clauses where they might not like you submitting the same manuscript to others. Or they may want exclusivity rights somehow; with varying ways how that can...

I really appreciate the reply guys as you call them. They are treasures to writers. Sometimes they keep you up when you are feeling down. Sometimes they've helped me feel more energy to write and hope from their enthusiasm. You don't have to say much to them, they aren't expecting a book in...

Be careful with burnout. If you linger too long in it, it can mess you up. Good luck to everyone.

It just depends on if it sounds realistic to me. You have to still have it be fantasy but still have it sound like, 'this could really happen this way'. When you break reality too much people kind of get to a point where they think... there's no way they'd act like that in that situation.

Sorry but I have to ask, was the AI also trying to sell you a subscription to Grammarly at the same time it criticized all your work? :P

Those ospreys are very cool. Thanks for putting that up. They are really expensive though. I can't remember the figures but 1 of those you could have like 7 or 8 black hawks or something. To me both the black hawks and the ospreys are very pretty looking. I like both. Also thanks to...

So... you guys might remember, that movie Avatar in 2009. I have a question... In that movie they had those neat looking double bladed helicopters. I'm doing research for one of my stories and wanted to know if it was really possible to make helicopters like that? Do the physics work on that...

You guys... your comments almost sound like someone trying to get someone to jump off a cliff. LOL

You know when people studied the psychology of why people play video games and such, they didn't always find the answers they wanted. They'd hoped to justify and say it was about addiction and that it was a vice. But when they got into the research they actually found that part of the draw to...

So today I finally got around to having my glossary updated for my story. And then when I went to go put it up in the area it goes in, I found out the glossary section is limited to 6,000 characters. This means characters, not words. To give you an idea... That is VERY SMALL. Its too small to...
