Thank you so much UCLA @WritersProgram for the insightful showrunners & show writers seminar, w/ helpful advice from moderator Ed Scharlach, & panelists @Larry_Jacobson @JenniferCorbett @natbernstein856 Nadiya Chettiar. I’ll do my best to remember your tips! 😀
Beautiful day here in Oregon. A few days left of my residency. Wrote my fourteenth poem of residency last night. Fifteen sounds like a nice round number.
Congratulations @sagaftra! You walked with us from day 1. You normalized wearing sunscreen, moisturizing, and hydrating. You were super nice and outgoing. You held strong. Now let’s rock this solidarity vibe when we get back to work.
#Writing is hard. That’s why so few people stick to it and actually finish things. And why you have a right to be immensely proud when you finish something. ANDY IHNATKO #amwriting #Writinglife

I'm featured today on THE WRITE PROCESS, a podcast from the UCLA Extension @WritersProgram. In this episode, I discuss UNSHOD, CACKLING, and NAKED, from concept to publication. Apple: is.gd/DmWvog Spotify: is.gd/ypO6uM SoundCloud: is.gd/iMpO2D
Only 1 year until IATSE’s contract is up so don’t forget where you stored your blue shirts, sun hats, hokas, hands free leashes, and sharpies.
I found this very moving. Knowing a poem like this by heart, knowing every subtle bit of cadence and modulation needed to bring out the emotion—just incredible.
Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:
10 favorite novels: The Age of Innocence Brideshead Revisited Great Expectations A Dance to the Music of Time (I’m counting this as one) Middlemarch Foucault’s Pendulum The Savage Detectives Midnight’s Children Far from the Maddening Crowd Gravity’s Rainbow
I think nostalgia, in many ways a conservative impulse, has produced some extraordinary works of art. You don’t have to always agree with the politics of a writer to admire their writing.
Conservatives are incapable of producing good art because they lack empathy, which means they are incapable of creating anything which communicates to a larger audience. When they try to produce art, they only end up producing clumsy in-group signaling.

If a #writer knows enough about what he is #writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water. ERNEST HEMINGWAY #amwriting #fiction
It’s best not to dwell on what you’ve written, wishing it could be different. We all #write what we can. We do the very best we can. You might think, Oh, I wish I could write like so-and-so, but you have to write like yourself. JUDY BLUME #amwriting #writing #writingtips
