Finally, a decision was made..No one could play 'Yorky' The Author would read the stories on video..a chapter at a...

Beginnings are optional. Endings are guaranteed.

Men often die by what, who they love...Booze, drugs, food, money, cars, planes, ships, power or women. They live hating everything else. As some of you know, I am the biggest foodie crawling in the kitchen...any kitchen. I would travel galaxies to find a good cut of meat. A few months back, I starte...

Michelle...you are right. I need to rediscover the slow motion. :-)

I bet you miss Hostess! :) Trust me, it is not all that complicated or wordy. Just be Thankful you are alive and able to write as you do!

Amit Mehra

Hey John, I don't think I am being cynical or sad at all. Just sharing the thoughts going through my head as I experience the changes coming my way. Best inspiration for writing are slices of your own life. Are they not? :-)

Eric Raphael Harman

That they are!

My bad... I didn't realize I was at "Bucket o' hugs dot com. ; )

@ Chris, I can pay the crew with love! And when they ask why? I can give them your age old wisdom of... "love has been paying Broadway's and Hollywood's rent for decades!" so it should be able to pay yours. Let's see how that flies?

Who wouldn't be curious?

I couldn't believe that in 20 years in Los Angeles, only 2 people had ever asked what the tattoos on Gurujis' forehead meant. One person gave me the excuse.."Oh, I thought they were personal." My response was, "If they were personal, he would have tattooed them on his ass!" Where is that childlike c...

The Midlife Gals are Writers TOO!!

Ainglish as a First Language. Say Kalanianiole five times as fast as you can! It does not roll right off the tongue. Neither does Kanekapolei, right? Those are but two Hawaiian road signs. This is what happens when you start a language, deciding to include only 8 consonants. Do you suppose that was...

Heroes

Where are the Heroes for young people today? Characters who manifest integrity. Empowering young people to stand up to bullies & bullying.."If I can do it, you can do it!" If this is not the function of Theatre & the Arts..then what is the function? What we bring to the table will feed another generation.

The lack of positive roll models was one of the things that motivated me to write the story about Sahara Driver. That and the idea that we all need to take stock about what's important. The story mirr...

The writer of these stories is also an amazing composer/musician and the next step is writing a theme song for a proposed tv series.. or a folk opera (think Oklahoma) only taking place in the Outback of Australia..I have many 'big ideas'..
