pulp fiction. reservoir dogs. two scripts ought to be enough for you to study over six days. talk shit if you want but early tarantino is better at dialogue than most other writers. actually, watch wim wender's paris, texas, as well. and read the script while you watch. it's powerful stuff. much slower and sparser, a nice contrast.

look up script to screen on youtube. it's never going to be exactly what you write, there will be last minute changes made by actors/directors without your consent. say shit out loud to yourself to see if it sounds like something a person would actually say.

I like your collection anon. We've spoken in some shelf threads and I'm pretty sure you turned me on to the theological dictionary. You're a good egg. Resolution is too large for 4chan: https://imgur.com/miYobmL

You're a good sibling anon. My runner-up choice: The Black Riders and Other Lines by Stephen Crane. First pick: Deaths and Entrances, by Dylan Thomas. Here's a sample poemme:

In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.

Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.

This.

And, as a correction, the asterisk goes BEFORE the correction to give context immediately. Placing it after will confuse (someone) the usage with a footnote.

You can make a font of your handwriting if you have pretty handwriting anyway.

There is no reason to give up the valuable tools of find, replace, regular expressions, copy, cut, paste, etc. because you feel attached to an antiquated form of doing things.

>The power up screams are gregorian chants

Is it experience driven? Is it thought-driven? Is it driven by your reading? By pop culture? Do you actively seek out writing prompts?

Helped me enjoy myself in Atlantic City alot more. Probably won't gamble again, I have strong-points more lucrative than luck.
Very fun story about women and gambling. Fyodor was talking to beta bitches like us. Kinda mad at how it ended.
