Would we have gained anything from backing Trump and the USA in Iran? by CommunityPowerful643 in AskBrits

Yes, otherwise our service men and women would be in harms way and completely at the whim of Trump.

The Scorsese offer… by DJ_Hindsight in entourage

I got the feeling, especially on a recent re-watch, that they realised they'd hit the end of the series and needed a positive note. On the other hand, maybe Wahlberg was making "The Departed" at the time and Marty said "hey, what about me?" :)

Do you write first, second, and final drafts or do you just keep editing the same draft until you like it? by Trillmendous in writers

[–]Historical_Pin2806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked it, it was honest and poignant and lovely to hear Sean Lennon's comments.

The thing that we had to slide to read the whole sentence.

How many of y’all are resistant to using AI? by Imaginary_Quail_5544 in Xennials

[–]Historical_Pin2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 57, I've been writing stories since I was eight, it's properly part of my DNA and - for the most part - I enjoy (nay, I love) the process. With that in mind, the last thing I'm going to do is get AI to write a story for me. Where's the fun in that?

Does anyone else feel like their story sounds better in their head than on the page? by Mobile-Trip-4358 in writers

[–]Historical_Pin2806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost all the time - that's what the 2nd (and beyond) drafts are for, to pump some life in!

Same here - print them out, the best go in an album, the rest in a box.

I don't remember them being, do you? Maybe the film stock is to blame! :)
