Some realizations that I had about outlining that helped me write:

💫 You don't actually have to outline the entire story from start to finish.

💫 You can 'outline' just by noting down thoughts, elements, scenes or ideas that stand out to you that you don't want to forget.

💫 When you sit down to do a section of writing, you can take a minute to outline the next three or so things you want to happen in the story.

💫 Even just noting down your intentions for the next scene or two can make it way easier to start writing, instead of facing the blank page not knowing where you'll go next.

💫 Outlining doesn't have to be overwhelming or restricting.

💫 Making a few simple notes about your intentions can help with even really short stories.

💫 It's always okay to deviate from your outline, and then note down your new ideas that flow from that deviation.

the funny thing is that i don't think younger people - and i mean those under the age of 40 - really have a grasp on how many of today's issues can be tied back to a disastrous reagan policy:

war on drugs: reagan's aggressive escalation of the war on drugs was a catastrophic policy, primarily targeting minority communities and fueling mass incarceration. the crusade against drugs was more about controlling the Black, Latino and Native communities than addressing the actual problems of drug abuse, leading to a legacy of broken families and systemic racism within the criminal justice system.

deregulation and economic policies: reaganomics was an absolute disaster for the working class. reagan's policies of aggressive tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, and slashing social programs were nothing less than class warfare, deepening income inequality and entrenching corporate greed. these types of policies were a clear message that reagan's america was only for the wealthy elite and a loud "fuck you" to working americans.

environmental policies: despite his reputation being whitewashed thanks to the recovery of the ozone layer, reagan's environmental record was an unmitigated disaster. his administration gutted critical environmental protections and institutions like the EPA, turning a blind eye to pollution and corporate exploitation of natural resources. this blatant disregard for the planet was a clear sign of prioritizing short-term corporate profits over the future of the environment.

AIDS crisis: reagan's gross neglect of the aids crisis was nothing short of criminal and this doesn't even begin to touch on his wife's involvement. his administration's indifference to the plight of the lgbtq+ community during this devastating epidemic revealed a deep-seated bigotry and a complete failure of moral leadership.

mental health: reagan's dismantling of mental health institutions under the guise of 'reform' led directly to a surge in homelessness and a lack of support for those with mental health issues. his policies were cruel and inhumane and showed a personality-defining callous disregard for the most vulnerable in society.

labor and unions: reagan's attack on labor unions, exemplified by his handling of the patco strike, was a blatant assault on workers' rights. his actions emboldened corporations to suppress union activities, leading to a significant erosion of workers' power and rights in the workplace. he was colloquially known as "Ronnie the Union Buster Reagan"

foreign policy and military interventions: reagan's foreign policy, particularly in latin america, was imperialist and ruthless. his administration's support for dictatorships and right-wing death squads under the guise of fighting "communism" showed a complete disregard for human rights and self-determination of other nations.

public health: yes, reagan's agricultural policies actually facilitated the rise of high fructose corn syrup, once again prioritizing corporate profits over public health. this shift in the food industry has had lasting negative impacts on health, contributing to the obesity epidemic and other health issues.

privatization: reagan's push for privatization was a systematic dismantling of public services, transferring wealth and power to private corporations and further eroding the public's access to essential services.

education policies: his approach to education was more of an attack on public education than anything else, gutting funding and promoting policies that undermined equal access to quality education. this was, again, part of a broader agenda to maintain a status quo where the privileged remain in power.

this is just what i could come up with in a relatively short time and i did not even live under this man's presidency. the level at which ronald reagan has broken the united states truly can't be overstated.

Enough random notes that have a written story on them as environmental storytelling, explore the space, get crazier with it.

You move into a house and aw cute, it has the kids height on the walls but you notice there's a three foot difference in height between measurements, you check the date, they're a month apart. The final measurement is on the ceiling. It's dated two days ago.

You're part of a recovery team that have finally found a stranded ship, they were found too late and have all passed a long time ago. They all died of starvation. You enter their storeroom, it's filled with food. In the dining hall you find the tables laden with perfectly fine looking breads, cakes, cured meats, jams, candies. Your medic says all the people sitting at the table didn't eat a Thing.

You wake up in an apocalypse. You can't find anyone at all as you wander the streets but you do hear faint music playing from somewhere. You stumble into a supermarket, to see all the aisles still full, except for the shelf that was full of ear plugs, which look to be the only thing that was looted.

Like there's light, sound, props. Having a street where every house is decimated except for One. Landing on a planet known for having No Water and a plant is growing and you don't know where it could have possibly gotten moisture from but you can't find the citizens Anywhere.

I'm sorry, I'm just kinda over the "graffiti on the wall to show the bad guy is around". That's not environmental storytelling that's just normal story. Show me I'm in the villains territory by the rain suddenly cutting out above me as I'm driving, even though it's meant to be raining all night. I park the car and step out, and realise the constellations are Wrong, until I see they're Not constellations, they're the blinking lights of a massive ship-

I Will stop now because everytime I go to write a sentence it devolves into another prompt but I'm just saying we have a Lot of senses, engage them, show me the Environment in environmental storytelling.

all i want is more mundane shows in sci-fi and fantasy verses

i just want friends, but set on ds9, and they had to pull some strings to keep their quarters on the habitat ring next to each other with the nice view of the wormhole, and they sit around shooting the shit and loitering in the promenade and having like dating crises and in the background the star fleet officers are running and yelling and the station goes to red alert and they’re like “ugh we just got comfortable!!!”

when the environmental controls fail they have to split up by species gravity tolerance and put all the breakables in someone’s bedroom

one of them works part time as a dabo girl but we never see them at quarks, we just hear complaining about the boss and sometimes horrendous work outfits

i want like “my dog got stuck in the station ventilation shaft, we have to sneak it out before star fleet notices”

Deep Space 90210

CSI: Bajor

community, but in space, at the shitty knock off academy that people who didn’t test into star fleet go to, for fucking interstellar trucking or something

featuring a pseudo jeff winger who’s an academy washout and he’s always like WELL IN STAR FLEET and everyone else like groans and throws crumpled up candy wrappers at him

TEEN WORF

i want fucking war horse, but set during the cardassian occupation on bajor

goddamn patriot about like kahless or something, fighting to unify klingons against a larger threat and with inexplicable modern accents and clothing

goddamn pocahontas in space, with first contact, where it makes no sense with what we actually know about. physics. and history in the larger world. and it’s obvious propaganda

(like i couldn’t think of an example like pocahontas that wasn’t. just as racist. but like! if you want your weird romantic colonialism, just set it in space, with fake history, and no one will know my guys! no one will be mad you aged up the fucking vulcan princess or whatever and then we can all enjoy this ridiculous story and the talking sand dunes or whatever)

HOUSE HUNTERS BUT IN SPACE! THIS INTERSPECIES COUPLE NEEDS QUARTERS ON A STATION THAT CAN DO BOTH OXYGEN AND CHLORINE ATMOSPHERES….PLUS A BIG KITCHEN FOR ENTERTAINING like please. spcae

real housewives of alpha centauri b

the office, but in space, about the small self-sealing stem bolt company that gets a boost in sales after they accidentally make a huge sale to the new federation-run space station outside bajor

manager: why would they order from the federation if they didn’t breath oxygen

me: *looks into the camera like in The Space Office*

THE DEADLIEST CATCH, BUT WITH STUPID SCI-FI ANIMALS

it’s always sunny on rigel 7

i could go all day hollywood call me you can reuse whatever’s in the backlots and the rental houses i don’t care man! just! do it! space!
