Tonight was the #worldpremiere of #CabinPressure, a murder mystery written for dinner theater. 🗡️ It's an amazing feeling to have something you wrote brought to life. 📝 Thank you to everyone who supported a first time #playwright! 🫶

Is there any specific rule or copyright law that includes quotes from movies, nods to music lyrics, or references to brands?

Some in the play script I'm writing have explicitly called out quotes, while others are Easter eggs. #WritingTips #Writing #Playwright #WritingCommunity #WritingQ #ScriptSky

I need to play more Blood on the Clocktower. Finding time is difficult especially when a lot of games are happening for US timezones. #BotC #BloodOnTheClocktower

The book cover of Hatchet by 3x Newberry Honor Author, Gary Paulsen. It features a large, icy-blue hatchet in the center, standing out against a vivid green forest background and the silhouette of a wolf. The book cover of Catching Fire, the second book in the Hunger Games series, by Suzanne Collins. The cover features an illustration of a Mockingjay in mid-flight, centered within a stylized circular target, which contains 12 wedges. The fiery gradient of orange and red in the background echoes the themes of danger and conflict.

The book cover of These Toxic Things by Rachel Howzell Hall. The white cover is framed with haunting, intertwining black branches, creating an eerie and foreboding atmosphere. In the center, bold, fragmented text hints at the story’s themes of mystery and psychological tension.

The book cover of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. The cover features bold, blocky yellow text on a bright red background, with the title and author's name taking up the entire design. Within the "O" of "One," a small pixelated figure runs toward a key (a reference to the video game themes in the story).

The book cover for Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala. The cover, which is cheerfully designed and full of vibrant colors, shows a woman cooking a delicious Filipino dish. On the counter, next to the culinary delight is a bowl of rice and on the other side, a bottle marked poison. ☠️

This. I don't write to have something else dobthe writing for me. It's a vocation. I do it because I enjoy doing it.

Gen AI's pitch is: what if you didn't have to do that thing you live to do?

How is that a pitch?

Is anyone else just *not interested* in using AI for their writing? All accuracy and morality aside, I just don't want to. I want every last word I put on a page to have flowed out from my own body. Maybe I'm romanticizing it, but I just can't see it any other way.

The cover of the novel for Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. It features a bold red circle on a field of black, possibly a nod to the Japanese flag and the dark future awaiting most of the students who play this intense, high-stakes game. Two black & white silhouettes of students, symbolize the main characters.

Daniel Penny may have been trying to protect people and not meant to kill Jordan Neely. However, now any future justice vigilantes basically has legal precedent to kill anyone in the black community without any repercussions because of his acquittal.

Stop acquitting murderers!

The book cover of Of We Were Villains by M.L. Rio. The cover sets a dark and forbidding tone with its all black cover contrasting against the off-white text. A laurel wreath is intertwined among the letters, hinting at the Shakespearean themes of ambition, betrayal, and tragedy. The book cover of Artemis by Andy Weir. It shows a the dark backdrop of space with Earth back lit by the sun. This visual represents the story’s setting on the Moon. The book cover of The Ride of a Lifetime by Robert Iger. The cover is clean and professional, with a photo of the former Walt Disney Company CEO sitting in front of a grey backdrop. The book cover of The Long Walk by Stephen King. The cover shows a long, seemingly endless road stretching into the horizon. Shadowy figures of young walkers, worn but determined, march forward toward their desired prize.

The cover of the Alexander Hamilton biography by Ron Chernow. This book was the inspiration for the Hamilton musical, who's logo is on the book cover. The logo is a black star, except the top point is replaced by a silhouette of Alexander Hamilton with his hand raised above his head, pointing. The book cover for Hamilton: The Revolution by Lin Manuel-Miranda. In the center of the cover is the logo for Hamilton: An American Musical, which was written by Lin Manuel-Miranda.
