Never Say You Can't Survive: How to Get Through Hard Times by Making Up Stories by Charlie Jane Anders

Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.

“And after watching approximately 10,000 hours of the CW, I've started to notice just how ruthlessly efficient the scenes in a typical episode of The Vampire Diaries or Arrow are. Each episode is juggling a dozen subplots, so every scene needs to carry its own weight and move at least one subplot forward, if not several. Characters on the CW enter each scene with an axe to grind, or a problem they need to solve, or often the need to murder each other. They interact, and something shifts in their dynamic, often heightening their conflict (if it's the middle of an episode), and then each scene ends with some kind of knife twist-_-or neck twist, if it's Vampire Diaries.

If you want to see how to strip a scene down to just its bones, then watching the CW provides a masterclass.”

LMAOOO absolutely not.
