I am about to drive to South Carolina, on Friday, from LA, which will be quite the adventure. I’m planning on being in SC for the next couple of months, working on some various projects, and hopefully getting some writing done. Debating pursuing more screenplays or another attempt at a novel, it’s weird though, I …

Nicholl 2010
Didn’t make it to the QFs. I’m bummed, but trying not to be too bummed. I know the script is in much, much better shape than it was when it SFed last year — I’ve got industry reader feedback, so it’s not just my opinion. It comes down to the fact that it’s an incredibly …

Advice for 2010 Grads Coming to LA; 15 things
The Bitter Script Reader posted some advice about how to survive to move to LA. I tried to comment over there and it won’t let me, but this is what I said. 1) Get settled so that you’re as comfortable as possible — living out of boxes makes everything seem transient. Have roommates or whatever, …

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Eddie Kritzer strikes again with a new tactic: Posting under someone else’s name. Here’s what “Andy King” had to say on that very old post about Mr. Kritzer. Ashley. You seem like a very dissappointed person; your very negative about everybody; why …
