My website's live now. Please check it out. The link is at the left and also in my profile. With that live, and with Miss Snark retired, I may not come around here all that much. But you never know.

Howdy

I'm glad you stopped by. In case you wonder why I haven't posted much, or why this blog even exists, the truth is I had to sign up for an account so I could comment on Miss Snark's blog. (See link at left.) Now that Miss Snark has closed down her blog (woe!), I probably won't keep this much longer. Not sure what to do.

I didn't have to add posts here, but I wanted to try it so I put up a couple of things. My website will be up soon, and I'll direct folks there when it's ready. For now, I have a book to write, and if I start actually blogging, that's never gonna happen.

Cut it out

I spent most of today in a video edit session. It strikes me that I can apply it to writing:

"Cut that, it doesn't move the piece forward."
"Cut that, it doesn't work with this."
"Cut that, it's too slow."
"Cut that, it's boring."

Et cetera.

It wore me out. That applies, too.

Act As If

I write a humor column for actors called Act As If. It's part of the Actors Ink e-zine (see the top link over to the left) at NowCasting.com. Check it out. Once a month I try to come up with something witty to say about the business of acting. If I can't think of anything witty I do an interview, or I profile someone in the business, and hope they'll be witty for me.

Boz #1

I'm not really a blogger and this isn't really a post. This is practice. So Boz is as good a place to start as any.

I'll just mention that Boz is my little love, all 75 pounds of him. He's the pig-boy, the pudge bucket, the poodleoodle. Of course we don't use cuteness with him because he's way too tough and dangerous for such silliness.
