Softly telling my deadlines that I meant well today, not making eye contact.

Oh….PG Wodehouse for style sensibility and humor, Jack Vance for style wit, creativity and perversity, Oliver Reed for villains/anti-heroes, a sense of humanity and humor inspired by the Fifth Element. I could go on…:D

The always excellent David Walsh:
www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
<em>Black Bag</em>: Steven Soderbergh’s spy thriller: “So we’re all horrible people. Is that what the point is here?”
The film and design work is intelligent, restless, assertive, but thematically, the watchword here is intense passivity and accommodation to the status quo.

A dose of Wodehouse to liven up the day-probably my favorite, but there’s so many to choose from 🥃

A vital wake up call from the best film critic of our generation…David Walsh of the WSWS. On present slop and it’s consequences and the lack thereof:
www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
Ethan Coen’s <em>Honey Don’t!</em>: A private detective sets to work in “non-glamorous” California
Generally, "neo-noir" efforts have little of the urgency, social bite or purposefulness of the earlier films.

#WIPSnips #red not mine :D but a delightful observation from Jeeves by the inimitable PG Wodehouse - my all time favorite author.

I've worked in writing -- academic, belle-lettrist, journalistic, technical -- all of my life and I still have no clue how paragraph transitions work. Every succesful paragraph transition is a gift that God grants in His mercy

Research is a gift—until it becomes a trap. You don’t need to use it all. You just need enough to move your point forward. The rest can stay in the notes.

Me, while writing a novel: "This is rad! So awesome. It's gonna be amazing."

Me, while editing said novel: "I would like to walk into traffic now."

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”
Even even though the former childhood star is usually able to get away from his famous past in France, Culkin did share a funny story about a Parisian cafe that was using his name as its Wi-Fi password. The actor explained that when he walked into the cafe, a woman handed him a "Home Alone"-era photo of himself on a card. “A waitress just gave it to me and walked away -- their Wi-Fi code was 'Macaulay Culkin,"' the actor said. "When she came back, I said, 'I like your Wi-Fi code.' She goes, 'Thank you,' and I say, 'C'est moi.' She turned white and brought over the owner of the place, who said, 'I knew you'd come here someday.'"

Doubt is loudest right before a breakthrough. If you feel lost in the middle, you’re probably closer to clarity than you think.

Meme 1) you don't always need to kill off the main characters parents! 2) writers: you know what? I'm going to kill them off even harder

#WIPSnips couldn’t find an outside-so #vibes-whole scene takes place outside :D. Sarah at the urging of her friend Jane is trying to stage a #meetcute with the handsome guy at the park. The universe has other ideas 😅
