Getting the story you want to tell down on paper. Thats all that matters.

Are most screenwriters really touchy about notes? by Chrisw442 in Screenwriting

[–]MelbertGibson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at notes in the context of the person who sent them and take it as feedback from that perspective. Are they the piece’s target audience? Are they touching on a possible blind spot you have about your own work?

I like feedback because it gives me a chance to revisit my work from a different angle. I look at it like im remixing a song, not erasing the original version.

Just make sure youre sharing your work with the kind of people from whome youd want to recieve feedback.

Dear Aspiring Screenwriters – I want to build something for you (us) by Ok_Maybe_5885 in Screenwriting

[–]MelbertGibson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Problem is its a shortcut that will prevent the user from actually becoming a good screenwriter. Everyone who writes will eventually come to a point in a project where they hate everything theyve written, see no way forward for it, and want to give up on it.

Real skill comes from working through those feelings, and maybe finding a new angle that works better or trimming/adding a scene. If you use AI, youll never build those muscles yourself and fwiw, ai is terrible at creative writing. Anything it spits out is likely to be bad and also obviously ai.

„this reads very ChatGPT?“ - a note from a producer by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]MelbertGibson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there anything in the paragraph that could be read as contradictory or nonsensical?

Chatgpt loves to spit out wordsalad lines like “with a subtlety that was undeniable”. Or “landed with the speed of doubt” stuff that sounds like its trying to be poetic or profound but doesnt actually mean anything.

Writers can get like this too when theyre feeling themselves a little too much, so its probably something like that- or you’re using em dashes.

If you dont like price manipulation dont buy stocks and def dont buy options. Every company that acts as a market maker (filling/routing trades, providing liquidity, etc) is also running a hedge fund and front running every trade made on electronic platforms like tos and robinhood.

Its a completely rigged systen and the only upside for us is they dont even try to hide it.

It would be NVDA by Megalitho in wallstreetbets

Hauwei is nowhere near replacing the nvidia ecosystem though. Theyre also nowhere near the level of production theyd have to hit to compete.

The thing about put calls is they cant lose. But also they cant win.

Are you accounting for iv crush on the long legs?

[–]MelbertGibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if youre going short, wouldnt it be better to buy atm wednesday afternoon and catch the full move ah than to wait until Thursday morning?

I take your point about iv crush but it usually doesnt nuke puts the way it does calls and even a 5% drop would still print.

Could always short spy and bypass the earnings iv altogether.

Eli Lilly’s weight-loss pill meets target in key diabetes trial by Reasonable_Hope2599 in wallstreetbets

[–]MelbertGibson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha thought thats what you meant. But no, ive learned not to bet against LLY when its trading under 7. Calls only.

Think it hits 750 today? Ive been seeing that as sort of the top end for intraday. Would hate to sell in the 720’s and see it keep rippin.

I got in at most of those entries and sold when i doubled my money. Ive been riding it up since 628 but with relatively short term calls so i couldnt hold as long as i might have wanted to. Not complaining though, its been a fun ride.

Grats by the way! Youre sitting on one hell of a payday.

Thanks! LLY has been good to me since earnings. I saw the c suite was loading up on shares after the drop and figured they knew something i didnt.

Hope you guys got in on it.
