It's the trickle-down economics argument all over again. Fuck those billionaires! Call their bluff? Let's see them move to Austin. Go ahead! I bet they don't!

Intro to Jacques Pepin's newest cooking show:

I love when I have a dream so detailed that I'm forced to sit down and outline a new screenplay based on it before I've had breakfast. Guess I know what my winter project is going to be!

There are a few writers that I've read that love to collaborate with. The hardest part? Working up the nerve to ask.

Proof that you can rewrite a first draft until it works.

If you have 5 scripts, you're better off spending $2000/yr on IMDB Pro and your own website/marketing.

I like to have the script I started in the winter in good shape by now, and have another started. Hit both goals again this year.

Always. Some people think coffee is fuel for writing, but it's really doubt.
