Writing: Doing the Work With A Smile And A Prayer
Posted on July 31, 2013 Leave a Comment
Something very special is currently developing in my writing life; however, it is too soon to tell what exactly will develop. It’s like a Polaroid picture, waiting and staring at the gray square that, with a bit more time, will show if your photo is a keeper or throwaway. At times, it is hard to […]
Writing From A Distance

The other day, after writing the first draft of my latest screenplay, I drove to Butano State Park and went for a hike. Now, you might be asking, “How does this relate to writing?” As most of you know, writing, in most cases, occurs in solitude with a focused state of mind. Even a writer, […]

This post has nothing to do with the creative writing process and everything to do with the consequences of being a writer. So, I won’t discuss how I start a writing project, continue through the process, or how I push toward its completion. I’ll leave that post for another time. This post is about living […]

The most exciting thing that happened this week is that the San Francisco Giants won the World Series, which is special because I live in San Francisco, and I’m a Giants fan. Okay, I just had to get that out of the way. Now for the bittersweet: Less than 90 days ago, two literary agents […]
Hello, I Must be Going

The other day, I unexpectedly bumped into a person from high school, who I haven’t seen in many, many years. It was awkward, to say the least. I tried to cut the conversation short, excuse myself, and get back to present life; however, it was obvious that he wanted to take me hostage and walk […]

Wow, it’s been more than a few days since my last post. I always seem to fall behind on things when I’m in a writing project. I’m currently in the middle of writing a screenplay. A comedy, which I discovered is pretty challenging. Coincidentally, I met two stand-up comics last week, and they agreed that […]
