That Moment....

[JT Woody]

TMW you realise that the Sharknado audience probably watched all those films to laugh at them. But then the studios got the wrong idea and made even more utterly shite movies, like "Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space", "Sharkenstein", and possibly the most inane ... "Killer Sofa".

Animals:
- Cocaine Bear
- Slotherhouse

Accessories:
- Good Hair (which was a surprisingly good horror satire)
- Slaxx

Toilets, sinks, and showers?

More the general look of bathrooms there. I'm writing a scene set in one and I want it to have the right feel.

I was super surprised when i went to S.Korea. we had to google how to work the bathroom (it was all smart technology which was aparently activated by our hotel keycard.
And the toilet was a smart toilet with all these buttons.

Then the public bathroom.... had a stall for a regular toilet, and a stall for one of those toilets that basically a hole in the floor that you squat over.

Did not think i needed to google bathrooms in other countries until i did

TMW you write yourself in to a corner and can’t get out. So you try writing another story and lo and behold the same thing happens again.

A very familiar feeling. Earlier this year, I was googling what an Icelandic longhouse would have looked like ... and yes, what Norse-era toilets would've looked like. (Not a happy google session, I must say).

Sounds like you're pantsing your story? I started planning mine a few years ago, and haven't run into corners yet.

TMW you're WFH, and you're due at work, but the forum is singing its siren song.

Damn. My workplace has a basic bathroom from the 1980s, and S. Korea over here living like it's 2125.

TMWI learned that sometimes people aren't what you thought they were. (TL;DR, but not involving me: Facebook friend has a meltdown and shares personal legal documents online on a writing group and because she's the admin, she threatened to close the group because other mods supported her ex.)

That moment I say or write something in an important conversation and later realize it's direct or rephrased line from a song I've been listening recently. (there is a local music genre that is sometimes frowned upon in the higher culture social circles, a bit like radicalized version of folk music, but sometimes fun to listen)

TMW you think of an amusing or clever way to subvert an existing word or phrase ... and then think of an amusing or clever way to work it into your story. (Yay, moment!)
