Earl Grey, Fridge Watch

January 30, 2022

Earl Grey and storytelling classes fed confidence in writing craft. A small soda fight flared, then David Mamet’s dramatic-writing lecture took over

Hidden

3:45 p.m.

I made Earl Grey Tea.

I am watching Neil Gaiman MasterClass The Art of Storytelling.

I'm on 09. Dialogue and Characters

He talks of how he imbues characters with personality and makes them real

I feel like, when I was watching Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. I felt that my average quality of writing on my Captain's Log, it is comparable, it is good enough or better. It is of a higher quality. Even Aaron Sorkin, his work in The Social Network and I guess, a few other pieces, though I dislike the The Trial of the Chicago 7.

My writing is equal to or comparable.

It's because I learned to write from them, I copied them, i studied what they studied, and i wrote well.

When I saw the cat, with my sister Lehara, she is watching a movie in the living room.

Keeping a watchful eye on the fridge.

I offered to make her some Earl Grey Tea, she rejected, then insulted me

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

There will always be people like her.

When I asked her for 7 Up.

She said it's not 7 Up.

When I asked for Mountain Dew.

She asks why i want her mountain dew.

I told her...

I want to drink it.

Now, she says I should buy my own.

When the cats are away

The rat will play

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I am just looking to drink it soon because of the carbonation and fizz

That tends to go away.

I think if he makes the violence more realistic as opposed to entertaining, then it will be even better than it is.

I hated how cheaply Spielberg exploded a dummy in Saving Private Ryan. He put his whole budget and all his attention into the first opening sequence.

It was why he lost the oscar to Shakespeare in Love.

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Or today afternoon. I'm quite tired. I went through the Neil Gaiman MasterClass today. I think my work ticks all the boxes.

I'm going to sleep soon.
