Nineteen TV pilots, three movies and so much more. Writing was my escape when I was young, will it ever be my future?

Ponder their meaning

My shower head broke, I need new brakes (hopefully not new calipers), they've already cut my hours at work, everything here is more expensive than I anticipated, & I'm still sick. But at least I finally got one of the shadowboxes done & I'm back to writing a little.

Documents. Pictures. Music. Videos. Long ago, the four folders lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Music folder attacked. Only the 3D Objects, master of all four folders, could stop them, but when the world needed them most, they vanished.
How could you forget about it when it was one of the 5 core document types!
holy shit i forgot about the 3D Objects folder

I know more about the lives of my non-existent characters than the lives of those around me. I hope others will be able to see a handful of them someday.

I hope I get my motivation back soon, these last few months have been exhausting. I went from creative mode to surviving so quickly that I'm still trying to acknowledge the fact that this happened. Not just writing; everything I loved to do has lost meaning.

I feel a bit better now that my space is organized. I took a part of one of my books to heart about reducing the chaos around the home (written long before "Sparking Joy" aired) and it still works. Hopefully I'll get the motivation to start writing soon.

Got moved and mostly settled in. Going from a near village of around 7k people to a city twenty times that is quite an incongruous juxtaposition. Also going from double digit temps to negative ones is a bit of a shock, but a pleasant one if I'm being honest.

It's the same with my shows and movies: while I obviously want them be entertaining, I also want them to have real-world parallels that will get the audience to consider their own reality.

My hope is for players to weigh the risks and rewards of staying up for lengths of time in-game, and have that translate to their own life. If they get frustrated by the input lag in a video game they might understand how sleep deprivation can affect their own lives.

One of my longshots is making Wild West Witches into a Stardew Valley-like video game. The fishing would be exponentially easier (sorry Mr. Barone) and the exhaustion mechanic would be vastly more complicated. (cont)

My parents who have spent tens of thousands on my siblings for their hobbies and their goals won't even buy a $5 book. The rest of my family who will travel hundreds of miles to see each other won't even give me a phone call or respond to my messages.

Eventually AI will "gather" information from all corners of the internet, including the not-so-light web. Soon anyone will be able to easily look up how to make certain compounds, what genomes make the best viruses, how to effectively hide bodies, or how to avoid paying taxes.

Following the aftermath of AFF's alleged AI-generated notes, I'd like to state as someone who has given script and story notes for screenwriters going back to the last century, I have never and never will use AI for the reading & analysis of your screenplay. #scriptsky

We all know that if you go into the past to end yourself, you create a time paradox that causes it not to happen.
But what if you go into the 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 to end yourself? What would you do between those times?

Looks like EBT will be cut until the end of the shutdown. I often mention our government's ignorance and their failure to learn, subtly in comics and shows, but this is the dumbest thing they could do.
Past revolutions began usually because the people were starving, how did they forget that?
