A Disappearing TV Show
There used to be this TV show I would watch called “Magi Nation”, evidently it was based off of a card game, but 3 or 4 years ago it got taken off of Netflix, and I can’t find much about it. Does anyone know where I could watch it again, if they even know what I’m talking about?
Both seasons are on youtube

Thank you!
Tough ass questions to ask yourself to zero in on who you are as a writer and help you pitch yourself and your work in a clear, concise way:
1. Why are you doing this?
2. If you could be doing anything else, what would it be?
3. Why aren’t you doing something else other than choosing a career in the creative arts?
4. What kind of stories do you tell?
5. What are you trying to say with your creative voice?
6. How do you see yourself? What do you do?
7. Who are you? As a creative artist? How do you pitch yourself? How do you pitch your work?
8. What makes you different?
9. How do you think your friends and colleagues would describe you, your work and your talent?
10. What do you think your first impression is? when someone meets you for the first time, what do they think when they walk away?
11. Why does someone want to work with you? Why does someone want to read what you have? Why do they want to listen to your pitch?
12. What kind of car are you?
13. What kind of animal are you?
14. Write your personal logline.
15. Write your own personal narrative – what is the story you’re pitching? How does it relate to you?
FYI this is tough exercise which I am still working on. You think you know who you are and what you are about, but writing it down almost feels too personal, violating (who are you to ask me what makes me special?!). But being able to confidently talk about who you are and what you do, the things that matter to you, and why you are the right person to write about something - is a skill worth investing in.

I'll have to try this!
1: The man of your dreams 2: Loves his momma 3: Family Matters 4: "Could just eat you up" 5: An absolute doll 6: Is a bit freaky in bed 7: Has friends for dinner 8: Just wants to see you smile 9: Wants to play a game
This is one of my favorite quotes.
Remember this, it could help somebody.
He truly is one of my favorite people, and he inspires me daily.

This is just awesome!
This is too damn accurate
My freaky sister
So my little sister has these lights that hang up in her room to help her sleep, and every night when I go to bed I turn them off for her. Well, the other night when I did that, she stopped me with a loud (and rather scary) "What? What did you say to me?" I thought she had just woken up from a dream, so I tell her that she was just dreaming, and I hadn't said anything to her. She insists I had said something, and grows more and more impatient the more I tell her it was just a dream. Eventually she breaks down and starts crying a little, and says "He's not in charge, he can't tell me what to do. He can't tell any of us what to do!" And keeps repeating that "he" wasn't really the good guy everyone thought he was, and she keeps getting angrier everytime she said it. I'm starting to grow alarmed by this point, and keep assuring her that no one is trying to take charge here, and she's just having some sort of night terror. Then she stops mid-rant and just kinda sits there, staring at me all blank-eyed (like, the kind you do when you see something behind someone) and I just kinda freak out. When she does talk again, it's in that same little kid voice she normally has, and she asks me why everyone asks her if she's alright. She explains to me she has been in jail for ten years after telling "him" he wasn't her boss (I still don't know who "him" is though) and she tells me everyone won't stop asking if she is alright. Now by this point I am just scared, and try telling her one more time it was just a dream, but lowkey terrified of "him". She looks at me again, scoffs at me, rolls her eyes and says " You wouldn't understand it, you weren't there. You can't go there anymore." Rolls over and falls asleep. And my mom wonders why I don't sleep at night. (P.S. this is not the first time something weird has happened to one of my sibling in their sleep. My little brother has sat straight up, opened his eyes (which were still rolled into the back of his head) and spoke in a perfect British accent asking where he was and how he got there. Even I have done strange things, like when my brother caught me snapping morse code in my sleep, and I don't even know morse code (but he does))
the internet shows me things
Haha! As someone who actually can enjoy English and grammar (at chosen times, not always!) I can appreciate this!
Classic Hollywood Structure
A quick guide to the seven plot points in classic Hollywood-style story. A vast majority of films, both inside and outside Hollywood, can be broken down into these seven plot points. You can apply these to your own films as well!
Hook: Intro to the world and characters. Grabs the audience’s attention.
Inciting Incident: the catalyst that begins the main action/conflict
First Act Turning Point: the protagonist(s) get(s) involved in the conflict
Midpoint: a significant event spins/changes the main conflict (this is not in every film)
Second Act Turning Point: the low point, or a significant development that changes the direction of the story. The “all hope is lost” moment.
Climax: the final face-off between your protagonist and the opposition.
The Resolution: the fallout or result of the climax.
