I've seen my future and am horrified at what I saw

I remember being told in film school to never write (beat) in dialogue to indicate a short pause. The screenwriting textbooks said it was amateur, and that you need to write (pause) instead. But then I go back and read older screenplays and (beat) is everywhere. For example, from Manhunter (1986):

Griffith Observatory really is the most romantic part of the city, isn't it? Looking over the city on a warm summer evening... what better moment to confess your true feelings? Art by www.deviantart.com/linked-memories #malemale

I've started going to space when I need to reset mentally. Something about it just calms me down, more than "clearing my head" ever did. Maybe its a kind of ultraview effect Art by www.furaffinity.net/user/linn686 #bat #furrymale #cosmos

A 99.9% complete piece I got from @indigodragonoff.bsky.social. The official seal of the Galactic Exploration Guild all my alien characters work for. It just needs the kesper text surrounding it, which I'll add once I figure out GIMP #alien #fantasy #reptile #romance #forest #aurora #night

I figured out how to digitize Kesper's revised writing system! It was a MASSIVE pain that required me to design 80 ligatures from spare parts. Thanks to Birdfont for doing what FontForge couldn't. #conlang #neography #alien #writingsystem #abugida

My hot take: if this album was Lou Reed x Nine Inch Nails it would have been a critically acclaimed masterpiece

A sketch of the revised writing system for kesper. I went for a full abugida this time which looks way better. The number system from V2 remains the same. I have NO CLUE how I could digitize this... maybe Ge'ez? We'll see... #conlang #conscript #writingsystem #alien

Specter's mom. She doesn't have it going on. She's a 50 year old divorcee with 1.5 sons (though she really doesn't like to think about the .5). Specter got his good looks and attitude from her. Art by www.deviantart.com/linked-memories

For the first time, I got a new OC that's not connected to any of my writing projects! This is Scraffy, Specter's long-lost half brother. I adopted this cute guy from www.furaffinity.net/user/kaiartwork… on FurAffinity. #refsheet #bat #male

Every webcomic has two stories: the story the artist is telling and the meta story of watching an artist make creative choices over the course of many, many years. You get to watch art evolve and change in real time.

Human Disguise/ True Form. Mijra's shapes are so different, but you can always kinda tell it's him. See if you can guess what musician I sent the artist as a reference for Human!Mijra. Art by Linked-Memories on DeviantArt

Another moment from my next writing project. Marcel stands alone on the Metro platform at Union Station, just after the last train has left. He's got no idea where to go, but he's come too far already to turn around. Art by Linked-Memories on DeviantArt #losangeles #cityscape #night

This is sold out. Who would be crazy enough to see Felidae in an actual theater... with other people??? Me, that's who. I really hope the Alamo Drafthouse servers working tonight know what they've signed up for.

My last writing project this year was a fake Star Trek novel for a podcast. It was a lot of fun to write, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Another drawing by the great Linked-Memories on DA. This one means a lot to me. I've been through a lot recently, and it feels good to imagine myself above everything that's been dragging me down. It keeps me half sane through the worst of it.

Art by n0tta on DA. Mid-winter is one of my favorite times of year in LA, it's usually perfectly overcast or raining heavily. It washes away all of the dust and trash.

Up on Tumblr - I do a deep dive into @temiree.bsky.social 's webcomic Little Runt. I cover what makes it so great, how it got stuck on one scene for 4 years, and why dream sequences are so hard to write. www.tumblr.com/spectrallik/...

The Trouble with Dream Sequences

Every writer knows the pain of getting stuck on a scene. It happens for many reasons - lack of planning, unclear purpose, the idea not working as well on paper as it did in your head, having a start…
