"Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably"
--Benedick to Beatrice, Act 5, Scene 2, "Much Ado About Nothing"
Shakespeare should have been a marriage counselor.

If this guy is supposed to be the “bad boss?” He’s failing at the bad part here, because gee, this is really nice. Also, her co-workers are kinda shits.

"There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story, read sometimes for the words--the language. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book."
- Stephen King

I'm really enjoying it, too. The characters and stories and production design stay with me.
But I had to turn on the captions to catch all the dialogue. 1960s thru the 90s, it was vital for actors to speak clearly. Everybody's really mumbly these days.

SPOILER WARNING FOR THIS POST. Talking about Frieren Season 2 and a certain review. Does destiny make it all moot? No! It makes it even more heartbreaking. She had a choice to turn away, but still opted to go. So, it may not have been chance, but willingly breaking your own heart. #GoodWriting

A screenshot featuring the legendary "Long Dick Johnson" line from Fallout New Vegas. In it, the character Cass is saying to the player character: "Nobody's dick's that long, not even Long Dick Johnson, and he had a frucking long dick. Thus, the name.".
If only I could write like this...

Let’s talk honestly about what #goodwriting really means. And why chasing perfection is one of the fastest ways to lose your momentum and your joy. You have permission to make a mess.

An image of an 8-runged ladder leaning on a green wall lit by a ray of sunshine. Beside the ladder is a text extracted from a book on writing tips describing how good writers know how to climb up and down ladders — a metaphor appropriate vocabulary selection. At the top are words with abstract meanings. At the bottom are words of simple utility that represent objects and are easily modified by adjectives. Compare “freedom” and “literacy” at the top with “bloody knives” and “baseball cards” at the bottom. The writing tip is to beware of the middle rungs, where words such as “bureaucracy” and technocracy” loiter. Source: Clark, R. P. (2016).

What is 'good' writing is entirely subjective and will vary from one reader to the next. No reader is better at detecting some universal 'good' standard. Too often what we see in reviews is access to bullying by persons who never bothered to read a work.

Carroll Shelby gets lit on fire, put out, and when everyone is gawking wondering if he's okay, he's perplexed and agitated, "FINISH IT! FILL THE TANK!"
Shelby needs everyone onside here, and so he asks the pertinent question (the ONLY pertinent question, he'd have us believe), "AM I ON GODDAM FIRE?" And, as he asks it, the answer is actually no. Once they twig to that, and what that means, he's got them all back on board and working as a team again. Carroll Shelby is driven and maniacal, but he's also a consensus builder (of SORTS; he's sort of more of a bully sometimes, and I think Howard Roark is the natural comparison point, literarily speaking) and a leader, or what he thinks is a leader. He sees the value in bringing people along, however forcefully, to his point of view. Versus Ken Miles who doesn't GIVE A FUCK what you or anyone thinks about anything.
Sheepish, halting, awkward; these people are the opposite of Shelby, who is determined, decisive and a man of action, both in rhetoric and in deed. But he doesn't hate them for being different from him. He knows how to speak to them, even if it's a little harsh for my taste. It was the era, and he is a Great Man, of sorts. We'll meet a few more, too, like Henry Ford II, another Great Man who compares unfavorably to the Great Man we've elected to follow in this narrative.
I read this as "... are you fucking kidding me right now?"

#GoodDialogue typically isn't advancing #plot, it's revealing #character & motivations. I think of #exposition as a sometimes-necessary evil, but the joy of #goodwriting & #dialogue is when it's showing, not telling, us

Finished watching #SquidGame season 3 last night. If you weren't sure yet, let me just say that this show is 100% an allegory for late stage capitalism.
