Found a great 1990 concert from Squeeze on YouTube.
If I one day write a novel the way @chrisdiffordlyrics.bsky.social and Glenn Tilbrook crafted 3-minute pop masterpieces, I'll die a happy man.
Need inspiration #writingcommunity?
You might also find forgotten joy in your old records, too.

It's amazing to return to a favorite #sci-fi series after eight years of writing. For me, it's #Stargate. I can't find fault with it: story structure & acting performances are all flawless. Glassner and Wright wrote with heart, precision and depth. IMO, the show is a sci-fi benchmark for novelists.

Is there anyone else choking back tears watching #OnePieceNetflix, S2 E7 "Reindeer Shames?
Look behind the animation, CG and outrageous costumes from the show and you will see that Chopper is not only adorable, it is character arc writing at its finest. #Amwriting #OnePiece

This is will be my only rant post. Spent 2 mornings setting up my SubStack. THE ONBOARDING IS A FARCE. THE USER INTERFACE IS A FARCE. Menu bars? A joke.
If #Substack wanted money to use, I wouldn't. This site uses the 90s Microsoft mentality: release half-assed, fix it later. Or maybe never fix it.

As if "Judge Dee's Mystery" and Unveil: Jadewind" weren't enough, this series demonstrates that China leapfrogged Hollywood as masters in visual storytelling ages ago.
If they make a Chinese GoT, American cable TV shows are doomed.

Before we even landed on the Moon (July 16, 1969), we had a film that predicted tablets, video calls, & the threat of sentient AI. 🤖

One Piece is visually stunning. Eiichiro Oda's started the manga in 1997, when he was 22. The live-action series has extravagant #worldbuilding film sets.
It's a masterclass in character writing, even if Luffy and his foes are over-the-top.
Perfect Monday nite viewing.

I recommend watching the Lucas interview in "Making of Star Wars I-III", where he explains that the films were about father-son relationship & family legacies, "not spaceships".
