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 […]

Those Who Tell…and Those Who Don’t

Or maybe the title of this should be Those Who Remember and Those Who Don't. I'm talking about writing, of course, and those who remember and tell every aspect of their current story while they are working on it. I had dinner with my screenwriting friend last night and he went back through every scene […]

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 […]

Interview with Me

John Craig did a 5-question interview with me and he posted it today. I loved the questions he asked and I love his photography, so go check it out. You can find his blog here. After you've read the interview, stick around on his blog and read his posts. He's got some great stuff and […]

Why Writing is like Drawing

I'm working on becoming a better observer. Generally, I go about my business, I travel, I write in my journal about my experiences, and those jottings are too often self-absorbed treatises on what I'm feeling. I like this, I don't like that, I feel so fabulous this morning or life sucks, blah, blah, blah, endless […]

Just Do It

I read recently that its the 20th anniversary of the Nike slogan, Just Do It. I live in the Nike company town and went to school at the Nike company college, so of course this anniversary has extra special meaning for me. Well, not really, but it always has been one of the most brilliant […]

One of Those Days

It’s been one of those days. I thought I’d take time to work on some of my self-initiated projects instead of all the work I do for other people (those pesky items that pay the bills). And yet. There was a series of emails that needed to be sent out for the Loft, and those […]

How Can I Resist A Ghostwriting Scandal?

Well, maybe its not much of a scandal. But recently Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, came out with a new book about his sister. It was supposedly a scandalous tell-all, but apparently it was fairly easy on ole Madge. Now comes “news” of the true reason for this–Madonna herself ghostwrote the book. The story is that […]

Creativity Writing

Hollywood of Comic Books

My son went through a long comic book phase when he was a pre-teen, which involved me driving him to comic book stores and conventions and then standing around waiting for him. Having nothing better to do, I picked up comic books and began to read and in this way grew to love the form. […]

Wish I Had This Ghostwriting Gig

In my travels through the world of blogs about celebrities, one of the rags I’ve come to know and love is The Daily Mail out of the UK. Don’t ask me why I adore this rag, when clearly one cannot believe a word they print. Perhaps it is for the bizarre photos they print (Amy […]
