STOP. moment of gratitude for those precious times of breathing from your nostrils when you don't have a stuffy nose
Everyone who doesn't have a headache right now, stop right now for a moment and appreciate how good it is not to have a headache.
foreman. babe. we’re at the bottom end of season 8. you have worked here for almost a decade. why are you still surprised there's medical malpractice going on at the medical malpractice department that you, personally, used to do medical malpractice at

god this show is truly bonkers isn’t it.
love david and goliath being like one of the main bible stories for kids. like yeah you might be small but with god on your side you can kill someone with a rock
Oh so when golden boy David does it, he’s heroic and a man after God’s own heart, but when I, CAIN-
Didn't notice the GLARINGLY OBVIOUS change, and was instead desperately looking for the "had to do it to em" guy
“I just feel so dead inside…”
“Dead inside, you say? I know something that might just work”
reanimate my will to live
Wake me up inside
a little obsessed with the story of how giacomo casanova was sharing a gondola with this random guy who suddenly started having a seizure, and casanova had some medical training so he stabilized the guy until the guy’s physician could be called. and then the physician bled the guy and put mercury ointment on him, which caused everything to get worse to the point that a priest was called to administer the guy’s last rites, but then casanova stepped in and washed off the mercury ointment despite the doctor yelling at him not to. and the guy recovered and turned out to be super rich and powerful and in gratitude bankrolled casanova’s debauchery for years until casanova got himself sentenced to five years in jail for blasphemy. also at one point he got shot through the hand in a duel and doctors wanted to amputate it but he said no it’ll be fine and it Was
so what i’m saying is a medical procedural show where the main character is giacomo casanova and he doesn’t want to be solving these medical mysteries but goddamn if he isn’t the only fucker in this room who knows how to not kill the patient. so i guess my date with this prussian chick will just have to wait
this pitch would have absolutely killed at the bbc between 1991 and 2005 btw
Embrace the silliness. Embrace the meaningfulness.
what they dont tell you about adulthood is that it’s startlingly easy to go long periods of time without having any fun at all not even a little bit. btw this causes ur brain to try to kill you with knives and hammers.
sometimes I wish I had ed sheeran’s phone number just so I could call him up and say SIMILES ARE GENERALLY ONLY WORTHWHILE IF THEY ADD SOMETHING TO AN IDEA. RECOGNISING THAT 2 THINGS CAN HAVE A COMMONALITY IN A VERY VAGUE WAY DOES NOT MEAN IT’S USEFUL TO REFERENCE IT. SEE: FACES CRUMBLING LIKE PASTRIES. IS SHE A BAKER? DOES SHE ENJOY A GOOD CROISSANT? IS THIS REFERENCED ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE PIECE? IF YOU ANSWER ‘NO’ TO ONE OR ALL OF THE ABOVE, DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200 OR A BRIT AWARD.
ok so i thought i put this in DRAFTS not QUEUE, and let’s pretend I did because i have so much more to add. So many thoughts. One thing I was really lucky to have, as a writer, was one teacher who took everything I wrote very literally – not as a reader, he was a very smart reader, but as an editor, just to make me question whether the language was any good. So if I said someone’s face was crumbling like pastries, he would go: like, breaking in half? How do pastries crumble? What does that look like? How does a face crumble? What does that look like? Is it the same verb? And I would go, Not Really, my face crumbling like the face of a person who has just been called out by her thesis advisor. And then I would use a different word. (I would use completely different words, every word in that line would be different because it’s a shitty line.) MY POINT IS, WORDS MEAN THINGS. I see this in a lot of bad poetry that is going for a Siken vibe. If you say something like “I wanted to use him like the blood under my nails,” that’s fine if you’re 14 because it’s important to have a phase where you just put words in rows because they sound cool. But at some point, as an adult who wants to make words, you gotta stop and think: WHAT ARE THESE WORDS!!! WHAT DO THEY MEAN! How does one “use” the blood under their nails? Use it as what? As paint? As cuticle cream? As a snack? There’s a reason your deep weirdo creative brain put those words together, and if you can figure out what the reason is, then you can figure out what words you ACTUALLY MEAN with your, you know, language centers. Your deep weirdo brain is a wonderful gift and you couldn’t create without it, but half the time it just barfs out stuff that makes no sense, even to you. That’s why you need to LOOK AT IT and SEE IF IT’S INTELLIGIBLE.
So that’s my #hotwritertip for today. Take everything you’ve written very literally and see if it becomes super dissonant/distracting, and if it does, then find some words that don’t. GET IT TOGETHER, FANCY NERDS!!!!!
it drives me quietly nuts when writers use figurative language that their audience understands but their subjects wouldn’t. horse archers probably have a different concept of ‘brand new’. a rural commune might not think of anything as 'trademark’. a sunny disposition might mean something bad for vampires or cave salamanders. and while it’s charming for space cowboys to do something lickedy-split, doing it post-haste raises the question of what kind of mail you get roping asteroids in the kuiper belt.

When leg one entered the chat, I turned into a puddle 😭
Secularist society that takes the cigarettes approach to religion and it's totally legal but all religious texts require a big sticker thst says "THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR GOD" or whatever. And at the start of every sermon you have to give a disclaimer thst you're making it all up. Etc. Kinda based
