Maybe it's all my years of practice, maybe it's a gift, but I can actually write anywhere at anytime on anything. I have my office "space," and I work probably best and fastest on my computer there, but I've written bits of dialog on the back of a map while hiking, I can write longhand on lined pads, I can work on my laptop while watching a football game. I don't know. Writers write. Seems pretty simple. What's that quote? "Writing is the art of applying the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair." (less)

I don't outline in detail (sometimes no detail at all!), so while I might know where I think the story needs to go, I am also willing to let the characters take over and lead me where they want to go. So words and scenes come out on the page that totally surprise me. I look back and say, "Wow, where did that come from?!" That makes the story more organic and "real," so makes the writing more vibrant and engaging, certainly for me and I hope for the reader! (less)

Reflections on a life-long love affair with movies

I remember the first movie I ever saw at a theater. It was The Greatest Show on Earth. I saw it with my mother at the Paramount Theater in Denver in 1952. It was about the circus. I wet my pants.

That’s been the model for my experience with the movies ever since: I remember them vaguely but was affected by them deeply.
I love the movies. Here I am a writer, someone who cherishes the written word, ye Read more of this blog post »
