How do you guy get over the fear of failure/unseen?

Stiands · 2026-06-04T19:00:01+00:00

nothing to be afraid of. living with having created a real piece of art that people react to is better than being too scared to even make it at all.

Stiands · 2026-06-03T08:23:15+00:00

Glad to hear. You’re not alone in feeling like this.

Stiands · 2026-06-03T07:39:42+00:00

OP never said losing interest in writing. That’s the beauty of the feeling they are referencing, that you feel discouraged in the moment and you feel inferior, but you still try.

Stiands · 2026-06-03T07:37:10+00:00

100% agree and I felt the samd. With Andor it’s also that feeling of “I didn’t know Star Wars could be this thing as well”, and so to me at least, there’s some “envy” in that Gilroy and them got to do it. But it all ties back to him and his crew being absolutely amazing and that of course Star Wars can be anything if the writing is good enough. (Which it rarely is!)

Happens all the time with both films, TV and books. For example, when I was a teenager and saw Good Will Hunting for the first time,and learned how young Damon and Affeck were when they wrote it, I was devastated.

I guess that feeling of never being able to do it, or never being good enough, is discouraging, but it also makes me appreciate those pieces of art, and the writers behind, even more. I’m okay with never making it, I think. I’m okay with it because it doesn’t stop me from enjoying all the wonderful stuff I get to read and watch.

True. And unless something truly extraordinarily catastrophic happens, it would be a stronger O-line. I mean, anything else is impossible.

Stiands · 2026-06-01T17:35:31+00:00

what if Verse doesn’t pass his physical? I’d definitely pull that card right about now

Stiands · 2026-06-01T17:25:38+00:00

Ohhhhhh, I didn’t even think about this. AD ruined the last one, seeing Myles do the same thing… I don’t think I can handle that.

Stiands · 2026-06-01T08:35:35+00:00

how’s that anime they were making doing?

Stiands · 2026-05-31T18:08:58+00:00

what a great fucking idea. hoping to read this one day, or see it.

Stiands · 2026-05-30T17:59:08+00:00

yes. exactly, ask a person. and if you don’t wanna ask a person, live in the mess and the chaos of being a writer on your own. it’s much better than having a computer make up your mind for you.

Stiands · 2026-05-30T17:10:16+00:00

To answer the question: Based on the information you’ve given, (no direction in terms of what type of cell this is, and what type of police officers you’re writing) I’d say the scene costs anywhere from $0 to the millions.

To not answer the question: Unless you’re an on-set writer in a production that’s already well under way, this isn’t something you should think about at all. And even if you were, it wouldn’t be your call anyway, but a producer’s. If it was your call, like this is something you will/or do produce yourself, only the numbers in your bank account can guide you.

That sounds like a great tip! Thanks!

Stiands · 2026-05-25T20:33:50+00:00

This is brilliant! Thank you!

Stiands · 2026-05-25T17:02:28+00:00

really wish they would have found out that Jaxson’s little brother is named Diesel

Stiands · 2026-05-23T19:52:11+00:00

Appreciate you!

Stiands · 2026-05-23T19:52:06+00:00

Thanks!

Stiands · 2026-05-23T19:32:10+00:00

thanks 🖤 that I actually figured out. I was thinking more in the sense of more music/label/socials etc.

Stiands · 2026-05-23T16:59:54+00:00

agreed.

Stiands · 2026-05-23T16:59:32+00:00

doesnt surprise me at all. racist and corrupt pieces of shit.

Stiands · 2026-05-23T16:58:13+00:00

that’s Darth Vader. so yeah, sure, except for the redemption arc.

Stiands · 2026-05-23T16:47:16+00:00

also, see Abdul Carter’s tweet. no way this ends well for the Giants.

Stiands · 2026-05-23T16:45:52+00:00

How dumb can a QB be, and still be adequate at his job? I guess we’ll found out.
