anyone else use the ’/’ a lot when writing a first draft?

@thefairfleming oh, nice! mine is usually the opposite– can think of too many things to say and don’t want to interrupt the flow by finding out which one sounds/fits better; so i pick which one while revising later.

that’s good too tho, i do that if i don’t know how to end a scene and i want to start the new one, as a sort of like…placeholder?

i always google search ‘shows like tudors’ and they always give me shoes that are like…abt royalty but otherwise not like tudors at all.

tudors ran so twq could walk.

twq walked so twp could…limp, i guess.

what’s particularly annoying about it is that there’s absolutely enough material to make a wotr series of the same budget and length as tudors… and yet instead, starz did a pgregs novel adaptation.

on the assumption, i think, that pgregs novels sell– and they do– but the film/tv adaptations aren’t big moneymakers, and that’s why it baffles.

the movie TOBG didn’t bomb the box office, i know, but it did incredibly mediocre, especially considering that it had two such high-name-recognition actors as the female leads.

for a point of comparison in tudor films; TOBG made roughly twice its budget in the box office while a man for all seasons made seven times its budget in the box office.

so i just don’t really…know why they thought that was the horse to bet on.

also, if you didn’t have to buy the rights to the novels, that was another place to save money?? i guess they thought it’d be worth it attract her fan base/readership but like…was it?

twq started out strong with 5 mill viewers upon its premier, which dwindled down to 4 mill; none of the twp episodes even broke the ceiling on a million views…even the Tudors’ least popular finale (season 3) had 1.4m.

@katybirdy95 oh wig, armitage would make a good Warwick…he has the jaw. and the Range.

@quillington also koa never loved him, arthur was ‘gold’ and henry is ‘enamel’, and apparently if he couldn’t train a horse within a day he asked someone to kill it.

what else… he’s the 1st person ever to insist of the title of your majesty because he was so up his own ass; except that was charles v, then françois i and henry ocho that followed suit, but who cares if you can use it to fit into your characterization of him as the personification of jason derulo’s talk dirty + the emotional iq of a toddler 🙂
