…..Saturday mornings on ABC became appointment television for millions of 1970s children across America. (All this and Scooby-Doo and Schoolhouse Rock, too!)

Oh, an important societal note:

If you want to see a 1973 future-forecast prediction of Amazon.com, streaming services allowing people to stay home, etc., please find and watch all of the first-season episode “Professor Goodfellow’s G.E.E.C.” Two small excerpts:

My Novel’s First Draft: Labors End, Labors Begin

Posted on by toddpanther

So that’s what writing a rough draft of a novel is like!

Mine was easy since my novel is 80 percent true!

So I learned that all the fiction-writing stereotypes are true.

  • You do get ideas when you’re trying to go to sleep.
  • The characters do talk to you in your head until you write down what they are saying and/or doing.
  • It does take as much time as you give it.
  • It is true that the reader doesn’t have to know the whole history and background of your characters, but you do.
  • You do miss your characters when you are done and it is a good idea to jump right into another project–as in “meeting someone new.” 🙂
  • It does take a certain stamina and commitment to finish–particularly when you realize it’s just a first draft. (I haven’t run it through the AI yet.)

Just the trailer makes me want to see this team in its own movie trilogy! And I love this choice from The Beasties!

Zendaya, “Euphoria”

I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be there tonight, but I just wanted to say thank you to @goldenglobes for this incredible honor. To my fellow nominees, it is a privilege to be named beside you, I admire you all deeply. Thank you to my Euphoria family, without you, none of this is possible. Lastly, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has allowed Rue into theirs. I think everyone knows how much she means to me, but the fact that she can mean something to someone else is a gift. I’m honestly at a loss for words as I type this, all I can say is thank you thank you thank you. Goodnight♥️
