@fesshole I used to hold the receiver next to my smoke alarm and press the test button. Now robots do the calls, it’s not as much fun so I don’t pick up.
@Geri Stay safe!

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 28: Do you ever sacrifice blunt clarity for prose that flows well?

Depends on what I’m writing about. Descriptive text tends to be a bit wordy (as is my dialogue, which I’m working on) while actions should be punchy and direct. I don’t think I’m talented enough to engage in long, flighty sections of text that blows the reader away but if my word count is low, I could probably ramble on a bit. 😁

By coincidence, I was reading about the late James Tolkan a few weeks ago. One of the most recognisable and intimidating character actors of his generation, Tolkan brought an intensity to his performance in films like Top Gun and Back To The Future. #RestInPeace 😔
#MakeABankerCryAnything Well, I’d probably start with the kneecaps and see what happens after that. 😈 #HashtagGames

If you had to pick one, would you say writing is more exciting or cathartic process for you?

Definitely more cathartic. I seem to be at my most creative as I have things to process - the screenplay came about after I returned from Japan (one that helped to heal some of the pain of losing my wife) and my current WIP seems to be a reaction to my discovery of my ASD. 🤔
