I was fortunate to be featured on Jon Paul Spurling’s “Write in the Head” podcast. I had such a good time. I thank Jon for his expert interviewing, conversational, and editing skills, honing it to 51 minutes. Ha! Happy Holidays to all screenwriters and potential screenwriters (It’s never too late!)....

I get that the person using the gun, the person at the business end of the gun, they might have many thoughts. Some of them...
