@MKTighewrites Yes please if you don't mind.

I am a slow reader and it takes me a long time to write a story. Is there a correlation?

[Charles @strangemachina]

@MKTighewrites What platform is it?

[Charles @strangemachina]

@PhilipFracassi I enjoy the freedom of writing freehand, not having to rely on a computer. I am less likely to turn back and correct myself, to be critical of what I am writing, but to push forward till I have a semblance of a story. The computer is where I make it coherent.

@misanthropemike Condolences to you all. Take care.

turns out it's Ron Howard the director. Go figure. Really enjoying the episodes but also seeing these actors/directors in the making. Only on...The Twilight Zone.

[Charles @strangemachina]

So we got the subscription to the Paramount channel and I'm watching the first season of the original Twilight Zone. (I aim to slowly watch them all). I am watching an episode called Walking Distance where the main protagonist goes back to his home town and finds himself back in

In regard to AI: I wonder if artists felt the same way when photography emerged after 1839. Suddenly, portrait and landscape paintings seemed redundant and art was doomed, until Monet and Picasso and the avant guard redefined painting. It seems to me like AI art is not the end of

@MKTighewrites We used to have a dog who could tell a storm was coming. It would be a clear day and she would cower in her kennel all day long till the storm arrived in the evening. She never got it wrong and did it all her life. Still don't know how.

[Charles @strangemachina]

@SGJ72 The eighties classic 'The Hidden' is also great.

[Charles @strangemachina]

Okay so the first four episodes of @RealGDT Cabinet of Curiosities are top notch, particularly The Autopsy which remained faithful to Shea's brilliant short story. Great to see so much money, passion and talent put into these stories.

[Charles @strangemachina]

Really enjoyed the first episode of @RealGDT's Cabinet of Curiosities. Looking forward to more.

It's been a great year for creators like @neilhimself and @clivebarkerinfo to take ownership of their own work. May it extend to other great writers.

Werewolf By Night was a pleasant surprise; Hellraiser (2022) was as good as I hoped it would be and now I can't wait till Cabinet of Curiosities and particularly The Autopsy episode.
