feature idea: [read-more] tag that costs mana, but lets you go over 1000 characters. it shows max 1000 on the front page then "Read more...", when you open the feel you can see all of it. it's useful sometimes when you want to write a feel-essay.
>I can see the movie in my head
I'm the same way with music. But I don't especially like basically any of the music I think (or hear but thats another matter lol) so maybe if I wanted to I could learn to write it idk

>they'd write philosophy instead
Not sure what you're referring to as classics, but different genres obviously attract different readers. Do you want to reach a certain type of sperg who spends his days studying his navel? Write philosophy. Want to reach another type of sperg who spends his days navel gazing ? Write comicbooks.
Most books are published because the publisher expects a profit, you make profit by being saleable at a scale. If I want an actually good/insightful book I can do a lot better than browsing the barnes and noble new shelves, and to a large degree this means looking backward.
Also, philosophy is relevant to the average person but the average philosophy book is part of a network of navelgazing that has more self references than the marvel cinematic universe. A solid standalone novel, or history book or what have you can make the same philosophical points without refference to that paper universe but only living in the reader's understanding of reality.

^ have you seen any of the greats, like sopranos, breaking bad, better call saul, dexter etc.?
i kind of envy you bcuz i've seen almost everything, so i have to dig through new releases to find shit that's watchable. plenty of good shows still, but waiting an entire week between episodes just kills me.

^ you should try series. i can't make it through the average movie these days in one sitting either. but a tv series is much more immersive, after a couple episodes you just get attached to the characters and they're often much deeper and have better character development compared to a 90 min movie.

^ i can only watch movies when eating nice food. just watching them with no food is too boring for me.

^ yeah, food is also one of my few pleasures, but i get satiated too quickly and if i overdo it slightly, it just makes me feel sick. stories are endless tho, you can never have enough.

i just realized that screenwriting would be easier to write, since it really is just action beats and dialogue. but it feels like a waste because no one reads screenplays, it's just an intermediary step to make a movie. i want to write a web novel series but i lack the skill to do it.
