I Have No Idea Yet

I still have no idea what really goes here. I reblog with reckless abandon. I’m not good at tags unless whatever it is is new. Non-binary, nearly 30, and happily married. Y’all stay safe, drink water, and sleep sweet.

Ok so Maura thoughts. She is so warm. And people don’t see it. She loves facts, she loves people, she loves people by telling them facts and so many folks read that as know-it-all syndrome when she is sharing her joy with you!! And almost everyone misses this in early seasons, even Jane and you can see the confusion and disappointment in Maura’s eyes when she drops some bomb ass knowledge and people around her cringe or say it’s weird or dismiss it!! THIS IS HER HAPPY PLACE AND SHE WANTS TO GIVE SOME HAPPY TO YOU HOW DO YOU NOT SEE ITTTTTTTT

ugh anyway *smashes soapbox*

You know what? Fuck it I'm adding more context. Sesame Street has talked about the topic of death more than once and it's done with such gentle carefulness without watering down or censoring the heaviness of the situations. It treats heavy subject matter with respect and dignity and has been for DECADES. From the early 1980s:

To 2025:

Hell, they even cover the devastating heaviness of MASS SHOOTINGS without censoring or watering anything down.

They've been doing this for YEARS, and it's ALWAYS handled with dignity, respect, seriousness, understanding, and love.

Whenever I see people censoring words because it "might offend" someone or the big ad companies that are currently trying to run everything? I just want to say to them: "What? Is Sesame Street too mature for you?" Because really...what the hell are we doing.

[pancake-surprise]

Mister Roger's Neighborhood also covered difficult topics with respect, age-appropriately, and without pulling a single punch. It's crazy that we've worked ourselves up so much that we're self-censoring like it's always been the norm.

This clip is from 1968 and discussed assassination after Bobby Kennedy died.

I'm not sure when this clip originally aired, but it was likely sometime in the 1980s. They talk about murder and, incredibly by today's standards, what sort of emotions (anger, fear, loneliness) might drive someone to hurt or kill other people + how we can manage our own difficult or painful feelings.

I’ve lived alone cooking for one and I’ve been the main cook in the house for several people. I’ve worked with a budget of ten dollars and I’ve worked with a weekly budget of three hundred dollars. And either way there’s just never enough freezer space somehow.

My more controversial Opinion that I think a lot of you would hate is that I think we should stop taking writing advices from screenwriters.

[hagiomoto]

Because today’s writers are learning to write from visual media instead of actually reading, and I think that’s a problem (too). Unless you want to write for TV or movies, we should listen to novelists and short fiction writers instead.

[talistheintrovert]

Apologies for hijacking your post, but as somebody who did a joint honours degree in both creative & professional writing, AND screenwriting, I could not agree more.

Th Creative Writing part of my degree covered genres, styles, poetry, professional writing, articles, fiction, non-fiction, short stories, novel-writing and even some level of scripting. We also did a lot of analysis and even had an entire lecture (including workshops) on how to give and receive constructive feedback.

The Screenwriting half of my degree did none of that. We watched movies and shows and we learned how to structure scripts and how writer's rooms worked, which is all useful, but in hindsight I truly wish I could have just done all of that in a six month semester long unit in Creative Writing because that's about the amount of information that was disseminated by the screenwriting course over the 3 years.

And those people in the Screenwriting half who were NOT doing Creative Writing (doing film or drama etc.) were notably less advanced in their skills by the final year. That's not to say they were BAD writers (although some of them were, that's true of all Writing degrees, sometimes people refuse to be taught because they think they know everything already despite being at a place to learn) but they were less adept at giving feedback on other people's writing beyond "i didn't like it" or "it was clunky" without being able to verbalise why and how it was clunky. They were less able to paint a picture of the world they were creating or fine-tune character specific dialogue, which is all stuff you expect to be able to do as a screenwriter. It's not just that we should stop listening to screenwriters it's that even screenwriters should be taking more writing advice from more diverse sources like poetry or novel writers. The books people DO recommend for screenwriting (like Save the Cat, which most good writers I know have beef with) should not be seen as the blueprint but as supplement advice you can take or leave - which is what was so useful about covering so many things in the Creative Writing half of my degree.

The most important phrase in my entire degree that came up in almost every Creative Writing lecture was "Form is never more than an extension of content" (Robert Creeley) which applies to literally everything and I am not joking. I have it TATTOOED. The form you choose (script, short story, poem, novel etc.) should reflect and inform the content (and vice versa) and if it doesn't you should probably try a new form and see what works best. That includes the form of advice you choose to seek out - if it's not designed for, say, the structure of a novel, how is it supposed to help you when you're 100k words deep into one? That's not to say cross-media advice can't be helpful (I literally said earlier than screenwriters should take more writing advice from more varied sources) but to keep in mind that even the best screenwriters in the world can't fix the problems you're having with your novel if those problems are novel-specific.

[hagiomoto]

Appreciate your insight! Yeah, this post came about because I was talking about this with my friends. They also mentioned that a lot of screenwriters transitioned into teaching creative writing, and that habits from their screenwriting days carried over to today's writers because their advice became so widespread*. The Save the Cat! series is one example of that.

*I don't have the data to backup their statements but lol
