The first episode of Six Million Dollar Man is so damned clumsy in execution. Starts with a narration from a minor character while the important events are going on. Ultimately it's redundant serving as an audio filler for scenes with no dialog. Guess they really wanted dialog there without a decent rewrite. I really do understand that "show don't tell" thing when it comes to narration. I'm not on board otherwise because sometimes people do monologue.
Maybe screenwriting is a more manageable idea for myself...it allows for the visual aspect which I lack when working on a short story. Truth be told that is why I always liked comics too, but that is outside my budget/skillset. Also pumping out a full novel without it reading like something from the dime store days is pretty hard when everything you see is shit. I don't want to write more of the same shit you see? It's all so alike.
This genre is shit. This series is shit. This guy ripped this guy off who ripped this guy off. Everyone you looked up to as a kid? They just stole ideas off the people before them. Nothing is original. Everything is transparent. Even if you write it you are just writing a slightly different version of this.
When I hear/see post apocalyptic, dystopian, zombie, sci fi, fantasy, western, elves, dragons, mutants, cyborgs, aliens I want to gouge my eyes out. I just don't see the point in doing that. So I have pages of notes/story beats for a series I no longer want to write. I feel like the guy that will write one book in his lifetime while others write 100. My penis is so small.
