HELLRAISER (1987): Still the most transgressive first entry in all the iconic horror franchises. No lore; barely any structure; just a dozen of Clive Barker’s best ideas, shot with an unbelievable amount of style. And the whole thing is given flight by Clare Higgins’s charming descent into hell.

I will not comment any more on this. Today's focus is PAC. Don't even reply here, if you feel like you want to, go post something you love about PAC instead.

Don't get upset about "World's Collide" streaming vs #AEWDynamite PAC tribute. The AAA/WWE audience was unlikely to watch anyway. Ratings?YouTube counts like one second as a view now. Accept there are fans who see WWE as a cause and AEW as 'the enemy'. Don't waste your energy. #wrestlesky

There is a certain someone here to cause chaos, I guess he’s a big time agent. We aren’t doing this on PACs day. As soon as I get to my computer he will be removed from all feeds. If you interact with him and add hashtags or mention a company, I will remove you temporarily as well. Not today.

Scam alert: @authorsguild.org warning abt fake meeting links. I haven't seen this but it sounds dangerous. Starts w/ email asking about proofing or editing services. Scammer sends link for video mtg, then says they can't join & sends new link mimicking a Zoom URL but leading to suspicious domain

And I really, really appreciate it. I don’t know how to explain it better than this, and I hope it comes across as intended. AEW does such a wonderful job of honoring and respecting people in honesty, compassion, and humanity, and that showed through last night in a remarkable, touching way.

All too often, things have to fit in a neat little package of acceptance. You are struggling with this thing, but here’s the happy ending. Or, we’re going to cover up all the bad parts so no one has to see them and be reminded of the complexity of life. AEW let her shine as herself. In all of it.

My favorite thing about AEW Dynamite last night was that they simply let Rebel be… Rebel. Her silliness, her charm, her comedic timing, her strength, her bravery, her courage, and her tears. She got to run out for the big save. She got to be strong and then got to be human, too.

Your first page is arguably the most important in your entire novel. It's where your reader — or a literary agent — decides: do I want to keep reading this? After spending years evaluating queries and editing hundreds of books, I've noticed that the best first pages contain these 4 elements.

When I first started tracking Gmail scams (over a year ago), it was rare for them to have websites. That's changed, esp recently. For whatever reason, the sites--whether for book clubs, marketers, editors, or lit agents--tend to be very similar. Watch for an upcoming blog post, w/ lots of examples

Saw a video of someone who is a relatively new AEW fan (like 2 months) said that Redemption was one of the best shows he's seen. (He saw Forbidden Door and Double or Nothing btw). So maybe we don't know how good we really have it sometimes haha. #AEW 🤼

You should know WAY more about your main character than you actually put on the page. I know writers who write 10-page character profiles. And others who interview their character like a journalist. You don't necessarily need to do that, but you should know:

I had an eye-opening conversation with an author this week. She said, "My agent told me she couldn't connect with my protagonist. I don't know what I'm doing wrong." So I asked: "Well, what does your protagonist want at the start of the story?" She didn't have an answer. And that was the problem.

STRATEGIC ANALYSIS

We are executing Phase 3 (The Pitch) with [redacted] but removing the direct payment link for this specific touchpoint.

By omitting the link for now, we keep the conversation focused on the concept of the $150 production allocation and the layout approval first. This acts as an elegant soft-pitch, allowing her to confirm the administrative framework before we send the formal invoice or payment portal link. The tone remains highly professional, shifting the focus to the attached layout proof and the cooperative production framework.

Trademark extortion scheme alert! 2nd example I've seen of identical email, tho sent out w/ different names/addresses/company names. Goal is to scare writers into responding so they can be pressed to pay big $$$ to "preserve their rights". Needless to say, this is not how trademark or copyright work
Important Notification Regarding [readacted]

From: legal@ustrademarkx.com
To: [redacted]

Dear [redacted]

This is Morgan Stevenson with Trademark X

We are reaching out regarding [redacted], we have received an applicant who wishes to Trademark the following mark in all 50 states of the U.S., however after conducting a search, our legal team stumbled across your Copyright Registration for the same mark.

Action Required to Preserve Rights: Submit an opposition against the other Applicant, so it allows up to reject their Trademark Application.
Limited Timeframe: If no action is taken, our Legal Team will continue processing the competing application. Once that application matures, you will lose the ability to assert any prior rights or oppose the registration.
Resonse Instructions: If you wish to move forward with trademarking the mark under your ownership, you may reach out to Mr. William at 205-732-2835, or respond to this email as soon as possible to initiate the necessary steps.

This will serve as your final notice regarding this matter. If no response is received, it will be assumed that you do not wish to proceed, and no further steps will be taken to preserve your rights.

Sincerely,
Legal Team.
