Thank you all for your replies. In full disclosure, this evening I decided to give the main character of my novel a Remington 700 as his primary weapon in the zombie apocalypse. I've read enough reviews to fake writing the gun into a novel. He's working at urban ranges against some apocalyptic...

I mainly want something I can take to the range for fun. It doesn't need to be ultra-expensive or have every gizmo known to man. I have a .22 Marlin my uncle bought me, but it's not useful for multiple applications, and the guns I buy need to be useful for killing paper or zombies. By "zombies"...

Anyone here have any experience with Remington Model 700? I'm curious if there's a specific caliber or type within the 700 family you prefer. I'm a fan of .30-06 and .308 rifles I've fired, and the .308 XCR Tactical looks like a lot of fun for those challenging 500-yard shots.

I'm familiar with "Save the Cat" and Blake Snyder. It's on my Christmas list and is generally considered "required" reading for us aspiring screenwriters. Does anyone have any thoughts on the question I posed in my first post?

Yeah, that kind of junk annoys me to no end. You save the kisses for after the battlefield. And Blair is hardly the damsel in distress type.

Give in. He's your hubba-hubba-hubba-huckleberry.

You spelled SpauldingSauce wrong. Just sayin'.

I'm currently working on my debut novel, a science fiction love story about a disabled veteran and his mentor's daughter, who fall in love as the world falls to pieces in the zombie apocalypse. Where I need your help is in building the romantic relationship between Vincent (my protagonist) and...

Most of what I do involves a screen, including reading, writing, watching movies, gaming, learning the basics of new skills, or writing music. Most of my off-screen time is spent going for walks, shopping, and attending my writing group.

Today I discovered I can go about seven hours without caffeine before I start getting a headache. Using that as a baseline, I'll see if I can stretch my caffeine intake out until it's at a reasonable level (i.e., 200mg a day). Today I've only had about 260mg, which is about six times less than...

You hit the nail on the head as to why I feel the need to let their commentary go in the first place. Most people wouldn't identify me as disabled if they saw me sitting or standing, so a lot of people may make reasonable assumptions about my condition. On the other flipper, I am disabled, so...

I'm having a hard time letting go of something a Walmart employee said to me tonight. I use the electric carts because it hurts to walk. I called a cab, and my plan was to wait with my groceries in the cart until I could load them into the cab, then put the cart away. About a minute before my...

No.

@Bortsss: To answer your question about screenplays, the best two I've read thus far are "A Few Good Men" and "Fight Club."

Will it help if we call you Spudbull? ETA: I'm joking, but I do find it funny how different my sister and brother-in-law work out. My sister encourages herself, whereas my BIL is his own drill instructor.

I guess it depends on our frame of reference for plain speech. What I find frustrating is when people are afraid to say, "I'm hungry" or "I don't want to" or "I like you." If you spend all day with me and comment on how good the food you see looks, then later get upset with me because we didn't...

I've been attracted to many different types, and had different types find me attractive. Note I'm using "attractive" here to mean more than just physical. For me the biggest issues arise out of poor communication. As I said elsewhere, I don't pick up on subtlety, even if she thinks she's...

I'll give that some thought and get back to you, probably in a different thread. I'd prefer to keep this one on topic.

Yes, that's the goal. Get fit, save money, move to LA, and make it behind the scenes in Hollywood.
