Actually have a full outline for 1 novel, but not feeling it, and a first chapter I’m really feeling for another in same universe but no plan. Caught between plotting and pantsing. But what the hell, let’s say 2024, by 50th birthday 💪

I’d say take my course, but tbh I think “writing skills” cache has been invalidated and we’re all screwing around trying to figure out what works post-Weirding. I don’t think anyone knows.

How would you recommend becoming a better writer (esp. for online/blog format)?

That a critical mass of people actually shared my interest in evolving an online hangout devoted to tinkering/studying together rather than socializing or grand change-the-world vision shit. It’s been very rewarding.

Not really big on movies. More a TV show guy. Station 11 would top my list. Fresh, not a reboot of 80s/i0s things. Feels post-Weirding relevant, not out of touch. If you must have a movie, I quite enjoyed Jurassic World: Dominion.

American: peel with knife, 0.25” latitude cuts. Loose-skinned varieties: hand-peel, eat longitude segments with skin, but remove stringy bits first. Never juice. Chinese restaurant wedges are just sadism, but actually peelable if you must eat. Do not suck on it like a psychopath.
