DO YOUR RESEARCH!
CALL/EMAIL YOUR MEPs!
KEEP THIS HORRIBLE LAW FROM GETTING PASSED!!!
Just fyi this will likely affect non-Europeans as well. It’s easier for a website like YouTube to just restrict ALL copyright instead of just sectioning off what they need to. They’ll probably let bigger YouTubers still operate, but small time content creators will be a thing of the past.
Plus his name was Henry and he called himself Indiana after their dog that he loved, so could even be Henrietta Jones and still call herself Indiana and NOTHING NEED CHANGE AT ALL.
I’m a woman and my last name is Jones?? What the literal fuck
I get the impression that a lot of people are nervous about first drafts because they think that they’re committed to whatever they end up writing.
That ain’t how it works – like, at all. A first draft isn’t something you edit into a finished product. A first draft is something you set aside and use as inspirational source material for the second draft, which is where the real process of working toward a finished product begins.
You’re not actually beholden to anything you came up with on your first go-around. Basically, the first draft is the low budget 1980s toy commercial that the second draft’s 2010s Netflix reboot is based on. Substantial changes aren’t merely permissible, they’re practically mandatory: if your second draft ends up sharing nothing with its predecessor but a broad premise and the names of some of the major characters, that’s not a sign of creative weakness – it’s a sign that the process is working!
I think it was a Monty Python sketch that showed an author writing with a commentary like a sports commentator.
“And he’s started writing… no, he’s just written his name at the top of the page. He’s written ‘the’, a very strong opening, used in several of his books. Oh, no, he’s crossed it out again.”
“Ah, look, she’s opening the thesaurus again … perhaps she’s realized she used the same word six times in two paragraphs”
“Now that sentence is lovely, an excellent example of her style in – oh, no, she’s deleting it, never mind”
“This scene is clearly over, yet the brave author forges onward regardless…”
“She’s really picking up steam now, the words just flowing out from her – she’s stopped midsentence for some reason and is opening Buzzfeed”
“Choosing to google ‘which countries are nonextradition countries’ is a risk but it’s one some authors must take…”
