A bit of worldbuilding


The Wire


Looper


My dad


The first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer


Tender Morsels


Maid and Butler Dialogue


Beta-readers and the dangers and benefits of focus groups


Like “I am Legend”‘s original ending and stupid ending


Prophet again

And text versus pictures! Also:

Exposition


Moon over Soho


and Jonathon Hickman
