a basic “must” for every writer: A simple solitude-physical & mental.

I write much better in the nonconfines of the early morning than I do the clutter of the day.

You see. No shock. No engulfment. No tearing assunder. What you feared would come like an explosion is like a whisper. What you thought was the end is the beginning.

According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the Earth. It is man’s prerogative - and woman’s - to create their own particular and private hell.

I don't know what my friends do. Generally they become producers. That way they can stop writing!

Over the long haul I'd say that most directors I've worked with have been pretty sensitive to the quality of the interpreted scenes.

If you're really a good writer and deserve that honored position, then by God, you'll write, and you'll be read, and you'll be produced somehow. It just works that way. If you're just a simple ordinary day-to-day craftsman, no different than most, then the likelihood is that you probably won't make it in writing.
