Dreaming of Seattle

19 May

“When I turned 13 I did this movie called Speak. To do a date-rape movie at 13, it really affected me. I suddenly felt like things could be really important and really help people. I did this public service announcement right after I did the movie and this enormous influx of people called in and said things that they had never told anyone before. And it hit me so fucking hard. I was like, ‘Wow, something that I love, something that was so personal to me’ – because at that point, I had never gotten any aknowledgement for anything I’d done, it really was just for me – ‘suddenly touched people.’ Movies, they can be important if you want them to be.” - Kristen Stewart

The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge. their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured. how the fuck is this not taught in every single history class ever pilots (◡‿◡✿) girl pilots (◕‿◕✿) girl pilots killing nazis ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* \(◕ヮ◕✿)/ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧$

Don’t you think that’s cliche?

Hey, I have a great idea for a book! Why don’t you write it and we’ll split the profits!

Oh yeah, when I get my book published…

Why haven’t I heard of you?

That doesn’t look that hard!

I just thought I’d add three more.

6. Oh, writing’s not a real profession.

7. You know, that kind of reminds me of this other book I read… Are you sure you didn’t steal their idea?

8. Yes, I know you’ve proof-read it a thousand times, but there’s still a couple of mistakes. Look here.

Adding to your additions:

9. Can I read it?

10. What’s it about?

What’s it about?

#more like ways to give a writer an existential crisis

Accurate.

My own father has done like five of these things to me.

Particularly “That sounds an awful lot like this other book I read! You’d better read it and make sure you didn’t copy the idea!” (Of a book I’d never even heard of?)

(I read the book. It was absolutely nothing remotely close to what I was writing.)
