Every one of my novels has the hero captured and the villain dropping their thesis on ‘em. I’m not sure if that’s a lazy crutch on my part or if it happens in every genre novel with a hint of adventure.10 Sep 2026 22:48 +0000at://did:plc:hb7pblnsja4o7tj3t7dgkhj3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv754rjvus2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/worrad.bsky.social/post/3mv44ebrxf22mLook at this beauty!

Just rent and Air BNB and write a first person story while *being* the viewpoint character (same mannerisms, voice, clothes etc). But is the bang worth the buck?

Just an incredible film about a shocking piece of modern history I’d never heard about. Perfect casting all round, particularly Lily Gladstone and Robert DeNiro. I think this is in my top five Scorsese movies.
