Good morning, creatives! I've been too busy lately, dashing off here and there. I need to be in one place for an extended period of time to get my creative juices flowing. That won't happen for another week yet. Sigh. Ah, well. I'll edit.

Dressing Up I’m not gonna lie, one of my favorite parts of being an actor is dressing up. It was my go-to game as a kid, and I was thrilled that I had an excuse to carry it into adulthood. It always amazes me how...

What defines a great story? www.outsidevoice.blog/post/what-ma...

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The Quest This week I experienced a huge lightbulb moment. A flash of synchronicity led me to James M. Lang’s fantastic new book, Write Like You Teach. This dude sees me.I just finished reading Chapter 2 on Wri...
