The Writing Process

The thought occurs that reminders about the basics are a good thing. I know for certain that I forget things about writing all the time and then when I remember them I feel like I've discovered the fountain of youth or the secret to cloning Brad Pitt. No, wait, I hear that Johnny Depp is […]

Ah, LA….

where it is illegal to look different from anyone else. It is a requirement here that you be thin, tan, have long hair, wear sunglasses and pout, AND be young. Thus if you are not young it is required that you go get plastic surgery really, really fast. And then you look like you are […]

Listening or Waiting to Talk?

One of the best tools a writer can learn is the art of listening. Actually, learning to listen is a useful tool for any human, period. I spent the weekend in a workshop with people who had varying degrees of skills in listening, which has had me pondering the subject. As my good and wise […]
