I start #Writing in 4x6 or 3x5 #MemoPads. I recently bought six 3.5x5.5 #Notebooks that should work about as well. (Once the longhand writing gets me going, I switch to the #Computer.)

Fried #Riced #Cauliflower w/ #Chicken, another #Fusion that doesn't entirely work.

#TV It's not fair, but I don't believe #KateJackson as amateur spy #MrsAmandaKing #ScarecrowAndMrsKing after she played action hero P.I. #SabrinaDuncan #CharliesAngels

"What do you mean Bree doesn't know how to fly a helicopter?"

The reward for best-selling stuff is making the most money, gaining the largest market share. Good for you.

I've always preferred #Sleep to #AwardShows, but I do appreciate saluting high quality work, which often isn't the most mainstream popular, best-selling work.

Submit original, crime-themed poetry today and it could be published on my weekly site in April, U.S. #NationalPoetryMonth: https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/p/guidelines.html

Do #Stories have to put #Protagonists in grave danger to be exciting? W/ long-running #Series, promises of grave danger ring false. If the best you can do to create excitement is put a long-running protagonist in grave danger, I don't know, kind of sad.

I didn't like #DanielCraig's #JamesBond run as much as I might have. B/c the #Movies had #Continuity, it felt like one long, excruciating movie instead of five.

#Serialized #TV #Storytelling can drag story problems on longer than necessary, making action feel slow. I prefer mostly episodic structure w/ occasional two- and three-parters spicing things up.

I've tried the #Woodchopper #Exercise w/ a #ResistanceBand tied to my closet rod. That doesn't seem to work my #Abs as well as doing woodchoppers while standing on a band.

I find people who complain about #Writers "getting #Political" are looking for an excuse not to read them. A #Story that doesn't somehow relate to real world events isn't as powerful as it could be.

In other words, a story can show a character taking any number of actions. If the story doesn't go into the character's thought process, we don't know how to interpret those actions.

We teach that #Words and #Actions reveal #Character. Ideally they do, but they can also mask and avoid the true #Conflict, understandably if the characters don't want to antagonize each other or spend time that won't lead to a resolution.

To know whether actions reveal character, we have to know the thought, the intent behind the action. If we don't see that, we're lost.

True #Conflict, I think, lies deeper behind our #Actions and #Words. Words attempt to express and resolve the conflict, but they often fall short. To learn what the true conflict is, you have to learn about ppl's relationships. How does one person see the other? Why? How do these perceptions influence their interaction?

I'm checking out a new show. It's not in English, so I have more patience that I would otherwise.

Most characters are shown bickering with family members: spouses fight, husbands are verbally abusive to wives, children backtalk parents. So far none of is relvant to the story. It's unpleasant.

Bickering is not conflict. Nor is it banter.

#Literary example: #RobertBParker's #Hawk is originally an ex-boxer turned legbreaker opposed to #Spenser, an ex-boxer turned state cop and then P.I. Hawk was such an #Charismatic #Character that, from his second appearance onward, he's been Spenser's staunch ally.

#Movies Example: Arnold's #Terminator is a killer android, but we're so attracted to his performance that Terminator 2 turns the android to good.

#Charisma is most on display when we're attracted to #Characters we normally wouldn't find attractive. The #Actor playing the character or the performance the actor gives in character pulls us in. #Movies
