I don’t consider …
I don’t consider weed a drug. I guess technically it is, but it doesn’t turn people into bad people. Neither does shrooms or acid or ayauhaska. The drugs I’m refering to are the highly addictive ones that mess people up. Alcohol messes people up. Herion, cocain, meth, pcp. You get the idea.
Go to my channel and playlist. Check out the new version of story structure. It’s better I think.

I Wouldn’t say …
I Wouldn’t say mostly turn people into scum but you are right about depending on the drug. I smoke weed and i enjoy it, it relaxes me and lets my thought track flow, i think its very good for creative arts, writing and music ect. Dont get me wrong, I’m not saying drugs are good but i think weed and magic mushrooms shouldnt be considered a drug, less harmfull than alchahol. ANYWAY i see your point and just to let you know im currently using your structure to help me write and its helping!.

Depends on the drug …
Depends on the drug. Drugs mostly turn people into scum. Those few people that are responsible and use drugs for artistic reasons,are well, the few.

i thought of something an extra twist where all this can be added the reason for peace and justice many time we react but we accuse and all and we are pointing at ourselves..he ends up having to face his horror of incest and through all this he did not get satisfcation until he breaks down. i am attempting to write a book and i need some advie do u mind..can i give u my email or something how does it work

Yeah, it’s …
Yeah, it’s repititive, but i like it that way. I think it helps me remember the things i should keep in mind. By the end of the 12 vids i’ll probably won’t even need to pause the video and take notes! Thankyou! Oh and you might already know this but the second “opponent” is written wrong. Thanks again!

I like how you effectively elaborate everything, or make it “robust” because to newcomers like me it reallys ‘drums the message home’ lol!

The quote you mentioned was from Adaptation. I just watched it the other day. Amazing movie.

They can be the same but not always.
I might desire to be a rock star, but I don’t need iit. Perhaps I need to get over the death of my father.

I don’t get the difference between “Need” and “Desire”. Don’t they kinda mean the same thing?

Not to be picky, but you misread what Rankao said. “Came down a little (coma), Man.” Makes perfect sense.
