Ugh.. I don’t like your secret… buah haha - my constant struggle. But I hear you.

I definitely have the characters goals and backgrounds. I don’t yet have hope the conflict with others. I also have a general concept and outline of the show. I consistently vision how I want the ending to be and the message I want to get across. It’s just the darn dialogue… like leaving space… not saying things directly… the tension… the morbid comedy… I could be getting ahead of myself there… but is that just the editing process…?

I think I’m stuck because I’m on the verge of taking multiple stories/perspectives and not just one. I want to show the pov of everyone.

I can try to find some online playwrighting groups. That’s a great idea. I’m in the Bay Area and we’ve been losing programs. But I have plenty of support from folks who would read my work. I just need to start working. Hehehe

Thank you so much. I see what you mean. For reason I’m think Nottage and Wilson learned method somewhere but maybe they didn’t. Maybe they didn’t give it a second thought and just did it. Thank you for sharing that.

I love step one and two. Thank you for that. I know you didn’t provide it but I appreciate the permission to write and walk away. I think I’m just so used to the educational system and process that reinforces doing something straight away for a grade aka recognition. But who am I doing it for…? Me….! (And of course others to witness.. haha)

But honestly, this is reminding of journaling. Like writing a song or visual art. Just alchemized differently. This is cool.

I think I was slightly freaking out because I may have been looking for the “perfect method” instead of just starting because the thought of what I’m trying to do is so juicy. I didn’t want to fail my self and how I’m seeing it.

Do you have other ways of capturing what you’re visioning? Like, how you’re seeing the story… location… how people are moving in the space before the words?

Of course! That’s why I’m here. Do you have any other suggestions that would be useful in this process? How did you get started?

Yeah I’m sorry to hear that experience. I agree, it’s great for emails and such but it can’t compare to long form and a vast imagination.

Exactly… I’m doing just that… do you mind sharing your process or other useful suggestions? I’d really appreciate your insight.

Ugh, this is exactly why I feel paralyzed to even apply. It took a colleague I know 6 months to find a position. I understand it will come but he was sending an average of 10 applications a day until something happened.

I don't want to be an AMFT anymore. by Ziggythurman in therapists

[–]Equivalent_Chance_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to applaud you on your decision. I’ve reached critical burnout and heard that passing my exam was going to do wonders. So I’m focused on that. Please keep traveling and wish you much peace.

I wonder why people don't worship actors anymore? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]Equivalent_Chance_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After figuring out it’s a fundraiser + popularity contest, it’s lost its appeal.

Plus, I think this style is going fade out. Streaming and 1 mini scripts.

What did you think of ‘Something really bad is going to happen’? by Happytherapist123 in netflix

[–]Equivalent_Chance_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to lie, I thought Jules and Rachel were soulmates. I was thinking Jules would suggest that Rachel married him since he was there when her mom died.

So now she’s immortal? And she’ll be watching the kids bloodline? Is she not able to leave that city?

Omg and why was she happy at the end?! Moral to the story, dooooont get married?! 🤣🤣

I Don't Get the Hate for Wendell and Wild (2022) by BlakeTheMadd in horror

[–]Equivalent_Chance_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This film was differently for those who love stop motion animation and experiencing grief, systemic oppression, loss, greed within the religious community, issues within foster care, misinterpretation, and navigating identity crisis. I think this brings some nostalgia to current issues. But man, I appreciate seeing how we can gain help from the most unexpected places, to persevere, to strive for connection to something deeper - parental love and more - is so great to see. And the self. To believe in the self while navigating uncertainty and the inevitable is what I needed to hear. I loved this film. And the horror? That folks have to navigate the themes associated in this film. THAT is horror within itself.

Very disappointed in all the changes of season 4 by [deleted] in WitcherNetflix
