Like Henry David Thoreau at Waldon pond

[JasonPruett]

movie idea : a Christmas carol sequel what happens to scroog after that day. he has changed his eyes are opened but the world remains as it was as he tries to do good he sees how corrupt the world really is and how only one person cannot change it. the fallen nature of mankind persists. he also has to deal with the fact that he is still temped to be evil and has to resist it. he eventually reaches spiritual puberty the dark night of the soul and the kundalini awakening at first resembling madness he begins to hear the universe speaking to him calling him to leave earth to a place where others like him exist apart from the world there they wait until the events leading to the end of the earth.

[JasonPruett]

its not work if writing is what you love doing and if you are good at it then its more important to the world that you ever suspected. i suspect when we create anything what we are really doin is dreaming and like dreams we dont understand the real meaning behind it and no one does but we all feel it. the real meaning depends on the specific dream and it may be meant for a generation 50 years away from the writers life or more.

"Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all."

[COOLFRIEND]

Is there anything more eye roll inducing than self-important writers. 🙄

How can a writer and film maker have such a loose grasp of grammar, elocution, pronunciation and seemingly no awareness of the personal and empathetic value of mastering and proudly demonstrating one's command of language in all forms?
