(Click here to listen to a reading of: the Creator and the Creation) I once felt like a film buff. I went to film school with other film buffs and so, I was a film buff, too. Everything from the technical to the theoretical, I was swimming in cinema every day. I read about film, […]

Writing through tragedy

November 20, 2011

I suppose I should read someone else’s advice about writing through tragedy. I’d like to write about it myself, but as it turns out, it’s not something I can do very well. Truthfully, it’s not something I ever want to do. I had my chance a few weeks ago, though I never asked for it, […]

Last week I took advantage of one of Gotham Writers’ Workshop’s 42 free, open house classes. As I’ll be starting a full Fall semester in advanced screenwriting this week, I decided to try something different for one night; I signed up for an intro to memoir writing class.

From the prompt: “In your pocket: A ring, a bullet and a match. In the diner, you hold your breath. Write this scene.” I am in the diner, holding my breath, not at all ready to make this decision. We’re not ready to make this decision. Isn’t this why we’re so disastrously beautiful in the […]

On any other morning, he could walk through those glass doors and she wouldn’t take any special notice.
