It feels strange not to have an ongoing writing project. I've been working on several at time these past few years. Now what?

I love writing with motifs! How about you? In this blog, I share a link to a paper I wrote about the movie, Out of Africa, and the many motifs that appear in the story. Did you know that strong, memorable scenes often contain a motif? #writing #writers #scripts #writingcommunity #motifs

This one was too easy. A couple hours last night and then as breaks from editing today, maybe a few more hours total.

Another fall puzzle finished.

#writers #writingcommunity Anyone else getting emails from Ruth Ware who's wanting to "introduce you to my agent"? Where she'll share her Amazon link so I can see how well she's done? Obviously, the sender knows nothing about writers. <falling out of my chair laughing>

I never get tired of watching #SomewhereinTime with #ChrisReeve. My fav vacation spot, #MackinacIsland, just named #1 vacation location. #classicmovies #writing #scripts #timetravel #lovestory. On Amazon Prime TV.

Dear #MSNBC - I've been watching your station all day. Why is the focus on Charlie Kirk, yet no coverage of another school shooting that occurred today? At Evergreen High School near Denver. At the very least, shouldn't there be equal coverage? Aren't the children more important? #shootings

Love the #classics! The Bridge on the River Kwai - a #movie that still stands today…more than ever. #Hollywood #scriptwriting #greatcharacters

Cover reveal! My book, Harbor House: Deadly Intentions, is being reviewed. I can hardly wait until it's published in mid-November! Some houses keep secrets. Harbor House keeps them alive.

Harlan Coben’s Missing You on Netflix was really good. I just finished binging on Netflix’’s Extant. Wow. And now on to The Thursday Murder Club.

And the stuff I'm keeping to myself right now... 😁

True character isn't revealed in what they say. True character is revealed in what they do. If someone lied to you in the past, they'll lie to you in the future. Don't trust the words. Look at their past actions, instead.

Wow. The Last Castle on. Paramount+, 2001 w/Rob. Redford. Still stands today. Great #script, great movie, great acting. #movies. #scriptwriting #writingcommunity #fightforrights

A lot scary that the man who was gutting America with a scythe now wants to give back our freedoms? Why do I not trust this?

At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years, Trump's big ugly bill is utterly shameful. It’s now up to us to make sure Republicans pay the price at the ballot box.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Queen Karma rules.

A memory popped up: Class research papers started. A student asked if he could write a research paper w/o doing any research. A really bright student, being lazy, I thought. I said, "Sure, go for it." Next week, showed me his work: gobbledygook. Said couldn't be done. It was a nice attempt.
