The Struggle Continues
A rainy day in Los Angeles is nothing like a rainy day anywhere else. The gloom of rain clouds that cover the basin stops everything (at least everything that Covid didn’t stop).
Well…not everything. As the rains wash away the soot from the sky; I write. The rain can’t wash away the words on the page.
Anniversary of My Birth
Today marks another anniversary of my birth. Another day to reflect on the year that was and prepare for the year that will be.
Today I want to take stock of the year that was and save the post detailing how I plan to tackle the year that will be.
Boarding the Train
Writing is like boarding a train: the only thing a passenger can do is step on the train and enjoy the ride.
It’s okay to be confused
I’m not sure where I heard this, but when I have a student who is confused about what to do next on an assignment I usually say, “Confusion is the first step towards knowledge.”
Achieving Rejection
Rejection is part of the business of writing. Especially screenwriting.
But that doesn’t make it feel anymore painful.
I don’t know if there are any “tricks” to dealing with rejection. It’s either something that breaks you, or it encourages to keep at it.
Regardless, the sting of rejection hurts. And it hurts a lot if you’ve been rejected from something you really, really want.
