something i’ve been finding when learning to sign on my own is how awkward my hands feel as what feels like would be my dominant hand ends up being the other instead…ambidextrous woes, i suppose lol?

there’s something healing when surrounded by work colleagues who are supportive, accommodating and offer flexibility re disabilities—it provides accessibility but also human decency towards one another. been reflecting on the last 6yrs and a half prior these last several months.

rather glad that i’m able to dive into more horror adjacent stuff these days because it feels like a mystery to solve and understand in your own way and intetpret.

the more i dwell in horror or rather the concept of why one is drawn to horror is understanding and relatability in a sense. the horror of realizing something about either yourself or the world around you. the horror of knowing not everything will ever be known or understood.

as a creative writer, have you ever bought clothes that you see your characters in them like that’s their style by association or something they would wear—or is that just a me thing? 🥀

feeling at a loss when it comes to writing. like i *want* to write but the energy and will to do so isn’t just there yet. some small wins lately as a result is looking through my writings still in progress or having an idea haunt me and making some notes. #latenightmusings

oftentimes, i’m just exploring and being pulled alongside the characters and inhabitants of the world, aspects, elements, lore and everything in-between. it’s easy to get lost in but hard to restructure to share with others. i think about this a lot because worldbuilding means a lot to me.

World building imo is creating a foundational system (shallow or deep) for a narrative that has some internal consistency. This is primarily achieved by thinking of it as a series of connections & relationships between nodes in which nodes may be objects, places, characters, cultural touchstones etc

somehow everyone has a charming Dolly Parton story www.avclub.com/troy-evans-t...
But back to Rhinestone. He frequently did similar things. But when he wouldn’t come out of the trailer, Dolly Parton would get up on the stage and sing and play for us. One day when we were shooting the film, it was the worst storm I’ve ever seen in L.A. I don’t know if it was recorded as a hurricane, but it was a hurricane-like storm. Only about half the cast and crew made it to the set. It was just a total clusterfuck. And in the midst of this, we’re on the set, and they’re trying to figure out if they can do anything or if they should just send people home. And one of those big metal doors cracks open, and the wind caught it and swung that door open…and it had cracked open because Dolly Parton was pushing on the outside. So it flung her into the room. She comes spinning into the room, and we all rush over to her. Bob Clark rushed up to her, he said, “Dolly! Dolly, I’m so glad you could make it! Are you alright?” She said, “Oh,  I’m fine, I’m fine… But isn’t this terrible? I was out there, my hair blowin’ in the wind and I was too proud to chase it!” [Laughs.] I just adore her.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

Dolly Partons IMAGINATION LIBRARY

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,

My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.

Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.

You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,
Dolly

thinking about the aspect of trust again. and how i love writing character foils, where between one that freely gives trust but is hard on themselves and the other that cannot trust anymore, freely throws themselves headfirst into danger—all in effort to secure the truth.

the idea of exploring an explicitly horror story, rather than having horror aspects compound another main genre i explore within, feels strangely intimate.

Sometimes society at large rejects certain ideas because they’ve been thoroughly shown to be wrong and also because they suck and the people who espouse them suck and when someone comes around arguing those ideas should be part of some edgy modern debate we can and should shun them and move on.

part of me always thinks about how powerful a scene can be to shift your perspective on something—whether it’s a character, plot point, world crafting, lore, or simply an earnest dialogue and/or narration means. especially the ones that makes you sit with it even years later.
