They want Greenland and Canada because climate change will make them more hospitable than many parts of the US in the future, no?

Ok #writersky, you’ve got a solid outline, you’re on track with it. Then you hit a place between points where you feel something else is needed, but you can’t figure out what it is. What do you do?

I try to focus on what I can actually control as an #actor and disregard the rest. For me, this means a daily focus on growth, presence, fitness, and spirituality. What about you #actors? What do you think can you control & what can’t you?

In a media landscape saturated by ease and comfort, is there still a place for actors driven by immersion to make a living?

From today’s session on my first novel! Tentative title is “Occupants.” In this scene, our protagonist is encountering, with no small amount of trepidation, his ex-wife for the first time in ten years. Whatcha think #writingcommunity ?

#writer #writers #fiction
Excerpt from the novel reading, “ There’s a private language old lovers have that can’t be forgotten. And it haunts their lives whether they want it to or not. It’s the other party in every romantic encounter that follows. With our arms around each other, the old ways rushed back to me. Her body felt the same against mine, despite the methods in which time had broken me and, I can only assume, her as well. Those arms and those chests and those breaths still went together like they were made to do just that. And it filled me with desire and repulsion at the same time.” Excerpt is from a novel in progress tentatively titled “Occupants.” In this scene, the protagonist is encountering, with no small amount of trepidation, his ex-wife for the first time in ten years. #writingcommunity #writer #writers #fiction

Kinda obsessed with this bts shot from the serial killer movie I’m on this weekend

#moviesky
Mannequin splayed on a table with an excruciating look on its face. Very creepy and unnerving. Taken from the lab torture set on this weekend’s #moviesky
