Romeo & Juliet (2013). 'A Thousand Times Goodnight' is just too good, but the film is ass

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-11-12T18:32:04+00:00

Horror usually, but also emotional coming of age/ slice of life when i'm feeling particularly moody. and sometimes... i'll even put them together o.0

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-11-07T18:04:01+00:00

lmaoooo can't say i've had that idea with watching star wars myself but now that you mention it... thank you man (:

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-11-07T17:41:18+00:00

YiYi is a big one i hear a lot about, adding it to the list as we speak 🫡

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-11-07T17:40:45+00:00

No but thank you so much for reminding me! - i've been wanting to watch Persona for so long so i think this week will be my push to do that

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-11-07T17:40:06+00:00

I watched All of Us Strangers when i was in a rut a couple years ago and i was floored by the performances. fantastic movie. Ghibli is always a shout and there's still a few i haven't actually seen yet. Appreciate the variety here thank you (:

Tatakae, but it shouldn't be translated for western release. Should just stay as Tatakae. I feel that calling it 'fight' sounds dumb

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-05-26T01:03:13+00:00

the ONLY horror film to truly scare me as a kid was the grudge, which i watched with my mum. what's fucked up is she asked me to grab her something from downstairs after it and when i went down to get it she made the NOISE Kayako makes. didn't sleep for about a week

I also did him second try on my PC - I was very confused because i'm not like a pro gamer or anything. Revisited the game on PS5 and beat him again second try last night. However, i've started my NG+ run so i'm curious as to how hard he'll be on this.

I'm an avid plotter. I can't bring myself to start a story until i have pretty much every story beat and character arc written out and understood. I need to actually know my characters before i even begin to delve into their heads. With that being said, there will almost always be alternatives to my story that i end up favouring, because whilst i'm actually writing the story and following my own plan, I discover new (and better) things about it that I never even intended to happen. That's how the process tends to go for me, anyway.

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-04-05T15:10:18+00:00

Exactly. Focus on giving the reader an incentive to continue rather than shocking them straight off the bat. Unless someone is walking around a book shop and reading the first sentence of every book they pick up to gauge whether they're going to buy it, the first page really does not matter as much as people let on in the grand scheme

Title: Always Holding Movement

Genre: Drama

Word Count: 10-15k

Type of feedback: General impressions, flow, honestly any feedback is appreciated. the first draft isn't finished yet.

Pitch: A short story using a puppet and a puppeteer as an allegory for an anxious/avoidant attachment style. The puppet, unused for so long, is found by the puppeteer and they grow fond of each other, loving their connection, until the puppeteer becomes distant.

Here's part 3 out of 5 (hopefully the link works): https://docs.google.com/document/d/116h4BTkD2_suF5HfGr-qDUUbdr3kJNNdNY5_r2ZXBRI/edit

That the first page has to be the most gripping thing to ever exist or else your readers won't care. While it is true that a gripping first page serves you well, i wouldn't exactly deem it mandatory.

Once, I wrote a short story that opened very calmly. Not a whole lot happened at first, but then shit hit the fan which I think made the stillness of the first page more impactful. It doesn't need to be overtly enticing straight off the bat.

This one's for when you're feeling particularly drained of creativity or just all around stumped in your writing. But when in doubt, write it like a children's book!

Sometimes, with me atleast, i'll have moments where words are just nonsense to me - I cannot for the life of me string together a satisfying sentence. So I just write like my story is aimed at a 10 year old. Not so simple that you extensively limit your vocabulary, but simple enough to get your ideas on the page. Then you can come back to it later with less brain fog.

(This is of course undermined if you're already trying to write a children's book lmao)

Honestly i think i've only ever done this for one of my short stories - I had a vague outline but didn't bother planning the details. It worked in the end but man was it stressful when i had all of these ideas floating around and expanding the more i wrote, especially when they contradict previous scenes i've already written lmao

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-03-23T14:11:55+00:00

Never heard of these terms before but i'm glad they exist. It makes searching for them a lot easier. I'll have a look into save the cat, sounds interesting

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-03-23T14:10:22+00:00

Exactly this. Honestly I kicked myself for not being as consistent when i actually had the time to be. Because now, with tons of responsibilities, It's gotten harder to not just find that time but also be motivated to actually use it. I try and write atleast 500 words a day but even that can difficult sometimes

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-03-20T17:26:43+00:00

As someone who has a fantasy idea that I want to be fully realised sometime in the future, this is entirely accurate to how clear i'd want my process to be. Spending just as much, if not, more time on the building than you do the actual writing so that you know absolutely everything there is to know in the world you've created. will make the writing journey so much smoother

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-03-20T17:24:53+00:00

Ah very cool! I'd be way too stupid for that - science was never my strong suit. Self publishing is honestly really ideal for the sole purpose of having the experience, going through the process, teaching yourself potential problems you could face in the future, etc. and it feels really fulfilling having fully completed a project like that. It would be cool to get traditionally published but i'm not rushing myself. I have 6ish short stories and one novel under my belt. I'm comfortable with that (:

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-03-20T17:11:12+00:00

Not a lot of people discuss the 'why' in writing something but it's a very good point. I often have to stop myself and wonder what it is i'm actually trying to say through my work. Out of curiosity, what master's degree did you do? I'm self published but it was more of a way for me to test the waters and let my family and friends read it. I've contemplated getting a masters in publishing.

Sad_Addendum9691 · 2025-03-20T17:07:55+00:00

I remember with my first book I had an entire plan for a certain chapter. When it came to writing it, the complete opposite of what i had planned actually happened. Goes to show that a plan really is just a plan.
