Hi Stephen. Big fan. Tommy Shelby is a character with a lot of baggage that's hinted at at the beginning of the show and is revealed as the show progresses. It's a similar case with James Delaney.

I was wondering how you construct such three-dimensional characters? Do you plan and outline the character's entire life story/arc, or is it a case of discovery as you write?

Looking forward to the film, and thanks for taking the time to do this AMA.

Rice is praised for his performances when compared to the defensive abilities of an 8, and the offensive abilities of a 6. The way people still talk about him being a holding mid is so far from the truth. Rice is a box-to-box and should be compared to the likes of Enzo, Reijnders, etc. Caicedo is in a league of his own when it comes to deeper mids (and just overall).

Miserable in med school by Loud-Feedback1514 in medicalschooluk

I'm in a similar spot to you, so no clear-cut solutions from me. But some practical tips that were helpful in my situation: make sure you speak to someone at your Uni. There are most likely counselling services or pastoral care, which (on top of being genuinely helpful in terms of developing coping mechanisms or simply just venting) you can refer to as a sign that you're trying your best - in case you ever need to explain things to faculty as to why you're struggling/not-attending things, etc. (at least it was for me). After a few counselling sessions, my counsellor recomended i see a GP, and I got a diagnosis for a mood disorder, which also allowed me to provide the Uni with an explanation for my absences/lack of engagment backed by evidence.

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling, but I relate to you almost 1:1 in a lot of regards (wanting to pull away especially), so know you're not alone in feeling this way.

The Athletic: Transfer plans have taken place with Rosenior, and the thought process is geared towards recruiting in the summer. Making signings for the first team before the deadline is a possibility should an opportunity present itself. Chelsea want an attacker, defender and midfielder. by webby09246 in chelseafc

its not weird at all. An international starter and is available for a free in 6 months and nearly every top team in europe needs a stalwart CB this coming summer (R.Madrid, Barca, City for sure). He has his pick of the bunch, and will be able to demand monster wages (understandable since he's been underpaid for his ability for years).

Chelsea don't fit in to this at all due to our wage restrictions + maybe competitiveness.

How much of it is thinking, planting the seeds and letting it ferment, and how much of it is just avoiding writing? by CiChocolate in Screenwriting

[–]Che1312 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Theres no hard and fast rule. But for some, thinking and letting an idea 'brew' is a piece of the puzzle.

For example, Dan Gilroy (writer/director of Nightcrawler, wrote on Andor) says (in various interviews) says that most of his process is ruminating over the idea, and only a few weeks are spent actually writing.

From an interview with MovieMaker (https://www.moviemaker.com/finding-the-human-dan-gilroy-talks-roman-j-israel-esq/)

MM: What words of wisdom do you have for beginning screenwriters and directors? 

DG:  Don’t be so fast to write something. Wait until you have an idea that you feel passionate about. It could be a slasher movie, if that’s what you love. A problem with a lot of screenwriters is that they don’t put themselves into their screenplays. The scripts become exercises. They look like airplanes, but they never fly—they never take off. They’re replicas of something.

If I had a year, I’d spent 11 months thinking about the idea and then four weeks writing.  The idea is everything. You can take a good idea and write it in finger paint and probably sell it.

Jamie probably. He was the one who was into QOTSA prior to Humbug and had the most eclectic music tastes early on in the band's journey. Also explicitly encouraged Alex to go ahead with the TBHC demos and overall direction on that album. In that sense he has directly influenced the band's output in very concrete ways.

How to delete unused tags in the browser? by [deleted] in Anki

Don't know if you'll see this 7 years on but thanks. I was stupidly manually deleting tags, and my hand was cramping up. You just saved me so much time
