[14 Aug 2009|10:58pm] Another friend told me about meeting a successful screenwriter who explained that, whenever he had an idea for the current story, he would type up that short scene and add it to a pile on his desk. Once the pile was about an inch deep, he knew he had enough material to begin work on the complete screenplay. post comment

the writing class - a novel by Jincy Willett [29 Jul 2009|12:42am] This novel is poor. That said, I'm starting to think I might enjoy it more if I could arrange to drop it in the bath once or twice. post comment

[27 Dec 2007|04:55am] I've been having random little visual artefacts lately that I keep thinking are spiders. Some are purely imaginary, little visual glitches in the corners of my eyes that I overinterpret. Others are bits of string or fluff, or in one case a tomato stem, that I keep mistaking for spiders. I have to check out all these artefacts and mistakes just in case one's a real spider. I wouldn't say I'm scared of spiders, but I definitely have a startle reflex when I see one, and I like them to be at a comfortable distance for both of us. Right now, just to the right of my computer screen is a small huntsman, maybe an inch, inch and a half across. He's not doing anything. I don't particularly mind huntsmen, they're mild and inoffensive and a little bit adorably furry. But every time I go to check out the brownish blob sitting in my right visual field to see if it's a spider, it turns out to be a spider. post comment

This journal is non-friends only. [23 Feb 2004|08:31pm] You can't read unless I've never met you and never will. If you've got the voyeur's itch, post me something and I'll put you on the list. 11 comments|post comment
