    A new Oxford Writer video always gets a boost from me. Hopefully I can finish my novel before my candles run out. nearly 50k words on my first draft now.

    Oh, missing girls, and as soon as that music started! Picnic at Hanging Rock. What a classic. So beautifully filmed. So haunting. And heartbreaking. I remember seeing it as a kid, and all us kids talking about it at school. I have read the book, as I remember the ending is left to the characters speculation, rather than an actual reveal of what did happen... But you still might not want to read the book all through to the end.

    I enjoy your work and I hope you won't become discouraged and pack it in. One thing I wonder is whether readers today are capable of appreciating understatement and spookium. Their brains are being formed, or deformed, by the sheer number of books they read and the speed at which they read them.

      I would have thought a greater danger is to the attention span from spending so much time looking at devices

    I'm always excited to see your videos. I have recommended your "show don't tell" Russian Roulette video to a number of writers.

    my best writing tip: read a lot. I knew Mr Quilp was not a person instantly because it is a reference to the Billy Bunter stories by Frank Richards

    The Thng (1982) is seldom praised for its subtlety, but I like the ending for its fraught ambiguity.

    This concept reminds me of the ending to Well's The Time Machine. Where in time did he go did The Time Traveler go? We can imagine, but we cannot know.

    God LOVED YOU so MUCH that He sent His only begotten son to die in YOUR PLACE so you won't have to die under Gods judgement but live forever IF you fully trust in Jesus, now that he's risen. Please repent. We all broke God's law, we sinned, but Jesus paid our fine. Romans 3:23, Revelations 21:8, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 10:8-10. Put ur trust in Jesus now, the only way to heaven. a lot of religions say Jesus is a way, a good teacher, Jesus said he's the only way John 14:6 none of us are good Mark 10:17-27, but when we put our faith in Christ we pass from death to life John 5:24 John 11:25-26. We're clothed in his righteousness Isaiah 61:10-11 2 Corinthians 5:4 it's good to trust in him and not how we perceive things, he'll direct our paths, and it's also good to turn from evil n follow him too. Proverbs 3:5-10 2 Corinthians 5:7 Mark 8:34-38
