writing a story seems very different from other writing. like usually when i'm communicating with other people, i'm circling an idea and each sentence sheds more light on the core concept i'm trying to deliver. with stories, it's very different, i can't do it off the cuff, sentence by sentence. the only plausible way that works is writing down "beats", this happens, then this, then that, like a sequence of actions. and then editing that and filling in the aesthetic gaps to make it nice to read. it's still quite difficult and result isn't very good.

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.

i only look forward to nice food + movies too basically. literally nothing else going on in my life.

^ 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 can only watch movies when eating nice food. just watching them with no food is too boring for 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 only watch reddit and morty and there's only 10 episodes a year (or something cbf looking it up)

^ 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.

>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
