Ok. I tried to be above the fray that is the teabaggin’ parties, but I cannot. Why? First of all, I want my tea back! Tea is a wonderful beverage that warms you up on a cold, MN winter night (sniff, bye winter), and it is unfairly being usurped by the right to further their [...]
Ok, not really. It’s day 13 of Script Frenzy month, and I just wanted to check in and let you know how I’m doing. The goal is to wirte a hundred-page screenplay in the month of April. That breaks down to roughly three-and-a-half pages per day. So, since I tend to be a perfectionist in [...]
