https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-10.html | I asked you a while back how often you think about the Roman Empire, then I realized if you were going to answer it, surely you would have already, as I can't have been the first to ask that question. Then I got the idea to ask how often you think about stars, because I had a good feeling you would answer that one. I heard someone say that men who think about the Roman Empire a lot probably had a past life there. So maybe it's possible you had a past life on a distant planet. What do you think? I'm not 100% sold on the idea, but it's fun to think about past lives. I have this thought that consciouness, much like matter and energy, cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. But I don't remember anything from before this life, so it's just a thought... | different lives may be in non-contiguous universes |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-10.html | What's the difference between "There it is" and "It is there"? In what situations is one or the other preferable? | first of all, the elephant in the room, "it is there" is particularly uncommon because in that case you'd use the contraction "it's there". so the difference between "there it is" and "it is there" would actually have multiple layers of difference. other than that, here's what i can offer: "there it is" seems to occur at the exact moment that the speaker finds the thing. where as, "it's there" is more likely to be an answer to a question, like a clarification about whether the thing is there or not there |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-10.html | Do you sometimes plan the structure of a song in advance? I'm torn between free-form-writing as it comes and the clarity that comes with a fixed form. (And also it's much easier to work towards "let's do an AABA tune".) | it's mostly impossible to know exactly what the form will need until you start writing it, however, the song will offer you clues. sometimes the initial idea will very clearly be a 'chorus', and sometimes you get a clear picture of what it will need. other times, the first idea will be like the title at the beginning of the A of AABA. it's really all about taking the initial idea and 'diagnosing it', with the most important question simply being 'is this the beginning or not the beginning' |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-10.html | Hello Bill Wurtz on Bill Wurtz Dot Com. Thank you very much for the music. I hope it brings you as much joy to make it as it does for me to listen to it (which is a lot)! As a creative, would you recommend pursing a career in a creative job (screenwriting) even though statistically I will likely not find serious work? I have stories I'm very proud of and I want to tell but sometimes I worry it's just a pipe dream, and I ought to wisen up. (Unfortunately I'm not related to anyone currently in the film industry). Thank you. | if you have stories, you should go ahead and tell them. this does not necessarily mean doing something as formal as what you described in your statistical analysis. and, in fact, if you tell your own stories, statistically, that's gonna work. you're gonna be able to do it. the statistical unlikelihood you described earlier had more to do with job-searching in a collaborative industry, and much less to do with telling stories, especially your own |
