What’s new in K-town? I’ve become accustomed to my tiny space such that I want to trick it out. There’s a closet specifically built for a murphy bed, so I may return it to its original state and install one in there. The question remains; should I use the closet for a full size bed […]
Read More ->The dichotomy of having a great manager who gives excellent feedback and a personal disagreement of notes given on a project is causing me to have lockjaw of the keyboard. In other words; “I don’t wanna do it and you can’t make me.” My manager single handedly helped improve a different project based on her […]
Read More ->A quick note about networking. Keep in mind that actors and other entertainment industry related individuals besides producers and production companies are willing and able to hire screenwriters for work. I recently completed a paid assignment that included writing a treatment for an actress who had been asked to submit a reality show idea for […]
Read More ->Re: Publish America I have no personal experience with this self-publishing company, however I do know a few people who have used their services. The overall opinion I’ve gathered is the writer has learned some sort of negative lesson from using Publish America’s services and went to a different company for their second novel. I’m […]

Read More ->Where I live, it’s a mess. And I can’t live in a mess, so what do I do? I try to clean it up. Everywhere I go I see furniture on the street, monitors broken on the sidewalk, and painted tags by people who think the world revolves around warfare. Well I’m done with it. […]
Read More ->The mark of a new writer, especially a writer moving from narrative to the screenplay format is easy to spot. The page is usually heavy with ink, and every step of every character is notated. It’s important to give actors a motion or prop to deal with in a scene, but I don’t need to […]
Read More ->It’s three a.m. in the morning and I’m sitting here wide awake thinking about pain and what it means to me as a writer. I’m not talking about physical pain, but rather the mental anguish that supposedly comes hand in hand with good writing. If we as humans have no pain to access, how can […]
Read More ->Not my usual offering, but how this recipe relates to screenwriting is that it is food for my brain. One that sustains hunger and allows me to write more. It’s also really CHEAP food. A lot of people, especially pregnant women try to stay away from certain seafoods during pregnancy because of cumulative mercury levels, […]
