I think I thought I'd read it when I hadn't and thus slipped into some temporal vortex (where it was cold and then unseasonably warm). ;)Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-88863299786421971512006-12-14T09:47:00.000-08:002006-12-14T09:47:00.000-08:00R: Screenwriting has always seemed mind-bogglingly...R: Screenwriting has always seemed mind-bogglingly hard to me, mostly because you really, really can't get away with not having a plot. Kudos to you for tackling it. <br /><br />BS: (Sorry about your initials.) My advice to critics would be the same as to any other type of writer: Read a lot and write a lot. Also, the critics I like the best are the ones who don't just spew superlatives or slam things in a witty way, but who put books in a larger cultural context and use them as a springboard for their own ideas.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554329549665664616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-31764734260720693182006-12-12T12:33:00.000-08:002006-12-12T12:33:00.000-08:00But what if I LIKE weather reports?!?
