It's the only way I know how to write, darn it. But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—
"Homer, I don't want you to do that."
"Then I won't do it." Then the next day, when I get up, the script's been written.
It's lousy, but it's a script. The hard part is done. It's like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I've taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way. And be sure to send me a small royalty every time you do it.

Borrowed from @samthielman.com who has sharing restricted - a quote from John Swartzwelder of The Simpsons.

This is also VERY good advice for writing music - get something down. Something complete and functional, then refine it.

Utterly discreditable 'greatest superhero movies of all time' list, by virtue of number 6.
There was even a story in the comic strip lampooning superheroes, called, IIRC, Fairly-hyperman.

I’m pretty sure Cov have promotion in the bag, almost certainly as champions unless you do a stupendous Devon Loch. Congratulations, all the best in the Prem

Plus, with Boro playing so narrow, and insistent on overloads rather than crosses, a wide pitch would arguably be worse for us and leave us more vulnerable to our bête noire, the swift counter

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

OOPS! GB News owner Paul Marshall tried to rebut Christian leaders, who criticised his channel's dodgy climate coverage…but in the process he made 25 dodgy claims of his own 🫠

Impressively, he packed the 25 dodgy claims into just 340 words 👏
