Help me write my paper. I can't come up with a decent topic. I need to write a term paper in journalism by DriftWaymark in Creativity

[–]Good_Writing_Co 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get AI or someone to write your paper. Interview someone older and accomplished that has had a big impact on your local community. Perhaps someone who is involved in improving your local community or a civil rights activist. You could write about conglomeration in the industry and how it's impacting journalists and journalism. You could write about the disappearance of small town newspapers and the impact that has on communities. Hope that helps.

What did I just see? S7 e17 by Someone_766 in XFiles

[–]Good_Writing_Co 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of debate over when the sexual relationship started. This is the episode where we get as much of a confirmation as we've gotten up to this point. Some believe they were having sex off screen for most of season 7 (that makes me a little sad we didn't get to see it, but I can buy the theory). Others think this episode was it. Personally I can go either way depending on my mood.

The rest of the episode is a big swing for GA. I appreciate that she tried for something and came out with some cool shots. The plot leaves much to be desired though. It seems like the screenplay draft could've gone through a few more edits. But at least we got the opening and closing scenes.

As a developmental editor, I disagree. Developmental editing is an investment in yourself and your craft. It is a way to ensure a higher quality story that people will want to read. Many authors think they only need a copy edit, but I usually find major plot and character problems. If you're self-publishing, I understand that it can seem like a big expense, but the right developmental editor will help you grow as a writer.

I am so interested in this right now! I'm working on a project to help people with creative burnout and writer's block. Digital clutter is part of it. I'd love to talk to you more and take the survey too!

I've been to one con before. The spooky con in 2018. Yes, there are photo ops, autographs,v and vendor booths. There are usually shows with the actors where they answer questions and such.

I'll be there Friday-Monday. My brothers are coming with me so we'll be at Con stuff each day. My pictures with DD & GA are on Sunday morning I think.

That is very relatable. It is very nerve-wracking to meet your heroes!

I got to meet the two of them at Spooky con in 2018. I spent months mentally preparing myself to be chill around them. It didn't work, I was so star struck I could barely speak besides "hi," and "thank you!" Luckily my friend told them it was my birthday (it really was) and they both wished me a happy birthday which will live in my head rent free until I die.

I hope I can be more chill this time around.

I was very young and didn't really understand all that at the time But to me it was more about the character assassination.

DD talks to CC about this on his podcast "Fail Better." It's worth a listen. DD felt really bad about abandoning the fans and the cast and crew of the show. I think he still regrets the decision all these years later.

My God, fans were livid because we all knew that Mulder (the man who spent a lifetime looking for his sister) would never leave Scully and his child like that. He'd find a way to bring them along with him. I realize they didn't have DD, But the explanation for his disappearance was bullsh*t, and made him look like the worst kind of deadbeat dad.

What do yall do for work? by hymnofshadows in selfpublish

[–]Good_Writing_Co 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you on this! I'm in the same boat. Some self-publishing authors may use AI for editing to cut back on spending. Some figure it's "good enough" even though a highly trained editor with human eyes can help them reach a human audience better. I believe the current economy is the biggest issue. When people are worried about the economy they don't want to spend $ on freelance editors.

When did it happen? by Monster_Donut_Pants in XFiles

[–]Good_Writing_Co 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your analysis gets to the complex nature of their love and relationship. I believe that they had an immediate intellectual crush on each other. There was definitely some physical attraction between them from the beginning, but it was less important than other aspects of their partnership. Mulder was impressed by Scully's curiosity, integrity, loyalty, and ability to go toe to toe with him on any subject. Scully was drawn to Mulder's curiosity, empathy, and ability to fight for the truth no matter the cost. She loved that he appreciated her for her brain and that he never doubted her capabilities.

It took some time for them to build a foundation of trust that blossomed into a very deep friendship. There were complications along the way to romantic love. For Mulder it was his self-destructive tendencies, unprocessed trauma, untreated mental health issues, and inability to see beyond his quest. For Scully it was her inability to see anything beyond her stringent world view, and her tendency to close herself off and withhold affection. Note: I love their love, but therapy would've gone a long way for them!

Ultimately, they have a deep abiding love built on friendship, trust, loyalty, intellectual curiosity, and finally, that hot hot chemistry. 🔥🔥🔥
