    A question on wine

    Was it red or white? I've only tried a handful, but I think white Moscato is the best (especially if you aren't a big drinker). Reds have a stronger taste-- often more dry & they're not so much something you sit and drink straight. They usually go with meats/dinner. Whites you could easily...

    Random thoughts

    Grr ... another rejection for my flash. Trying not to lose hope. It'll find a home ... eventually. On to the non-paying markets - I guess.

    Jokes meant for mostly yourself

    I don't really do jokes (I tend to have darker writing) but I will occasionally throw in some sarcasm or a good one liner if it doesn't destroy the mood of the scene. I used to write children's skits for a Catholic conference (must have done it at least five or six years in a row) - we'd...

    Write What You Know, or Write What Sells?

    I'm not familiar with the magazine and I actually love the musical genre. Heavy Metal (1981) - IMDb I was referring to ^ this piece of garbage. I let a couple friends choose it for movie night. Made them shut it off no more than twenty minutes in and learned to carefully vet all of their...

    Write What You Know, or Write What Sells?

    Ms. Marvel is Muslim. Peggy Carter got Operation: Sin (I prefer her as a brunette btw) AND a 2 season television show (which I thought was spectacular). Jessica Jones & Luke Cage have Netflix series ... really the list could go on and on. Minorities (religious, ethnic, and unrepresented gender)...

    Write What You Know, or Write What Sells?

    I think this is an important point here ... as we all ponder the false dichotomy of something you love vs something you can sell, we should keep in mind that Fantasy is something that sells. For all of us here, there really is no distinction to be made. This question really only applies if you...

    How high are the stakes?

    First thing that came to mind is the Buffyverse... Both Angel and Buffy are great examples for using both cataclysmic and personal stakes and stacking them up side by side for a maximum effect ... they faced a potential apocalypse at least once a season but it's never just about the end of...

    Monogamy vs Polygamy

    Depends on the type of polygamy you mean ... do you consider polyandry to be polygamy? Typically Polygamy is also tied into a man's social (and economic) standing ... he can have three or four wives (rarely more than that) if he can afford to take care of all of them (and their children). It...

    Epic Epithets en Español

    Of course, you're right. Spanish did originate in Spain... But since it's one of only a select few to use it out of the 21 Spanish speaking nations in the world, I'm going to go ahead and stand by "extra" :) Everyone else seems to be getting along fine without it. To be fair, I'd call "Thy" and...
