I can always find things in other's work, but never in mine. <br /><br />Lesli, I need to get with you about screenwriting. <br /><br />Darcee, that sounds like something I need to pick up.

Right now that's THe Writer's Journey. (Love this book BTW. IMO it could be re-titled The Writer's Bible.) And I haven't watched or read anything but a love story in over a year.
