Dear Joshua,
Thank you for your reply and critique.
I think the comment of the "ly" on sudden has merit as it does disturb the meaning and meter... I will give you that. Maybe, if I decide to keep it as is, I might switch "strands of moments - s...
Hi Writer at the Sea.
Thank you. I don't who said it, but it bears repeating, "I hate writing, I love having written." It's a phrase that I have to constantly remind myself to remember. If I intend to "love having written," then I have to do the w...
There is no doubt that character development is nearly as important as plot development. Without a good plot, a reader or audience will never stay engaged, but what about our lead characters? One of the ways that I help to define a character, is t...
Hello Joseph,
As much as I hate to agree (because often re-writing can be an arduous task), you are correct. Your two rules are excellent. Every writer has their process of weeding out unnecessary dialogue, scenes, and verbiage that does not push...
hmm, WATS (Writer At the Sea) this is a mixed metaphor play that has a great switch up after the first stanza, but I see some conflicting images that only make sense if you were writing for the mere pleasure of just getting it down.
If this is the...
Thanks for bringing this topic up. The craft of writing isn't putting words on a page. It's in the re-writing. I've written fifteen screenplays, one television script and three television movie treatments that were sold and made into films. In add...

Life—the strand of suddenly moments

Forrest Long said… - Hi. I'm moving on Monday to a small community of Hartselle in north Alabama. I do freelance writing and have written for various Canadian magazines, from outdoor articles to articles on spirituality. And I have several book manuscripts at various stages of completion, with one book on Eastern Orthodox spirituality published. But I also divide my time with painting and that's where my need to be by the sea comes in. Some day I'll be back there.

- I am intrigued by your handle- "Writer at the Sea". Mine that I use online is "Fogbound", because I've spent much of my life by the ocean in Atlantic Canada. For some reason I find that my creativity in writing and painting increases when I'm by the sea. Unfortunately now, I'm too far inland, but still make regular journeys to the sea.

The spammer has been banned. Thanks for your head's up! Membership is open so these clowns get in easily but once they start their nefarious deeds they have to be banned asap. So thanks again. Anytime you see something suspicious don't hesitate to report it.

In the meantime, all the best,

- I was bi-coastal for a long time, as well. Spent loads of time along the New England coast, and also lived in Santa Monica. It's interesting how the atmospheres of coasts impact the sensibility so differently. I suppose this is largely due to the sensual, cultural and historical associations we have with each of them. I find the west coast to be more soothing, the east, more stirring.
I was in Big Sur a couple of years ago and found it to be the closest the California coast has, for me, to the mystery and power of the New England. Hope your project is a success and that you enjoy your time in New England.

- Wow, Howie,
So glad to hear from you, but sorry to hear about your job. Truth be known... I am still looking for work. I cannot believe this frankly. I think you would be great at blogging and commenting on political issues. I hope that works out for you... Keep me posted! Rootin' for you Howie!
Yeah, this site is pretty cool. Not even sure how I discovered it, but when I saw that there was no film group, I changed that immediately! :)
Anyway my friend... time to "cut to" another scene. My doggy needs a serious WALK, while the rain has stopped briefly.
...to be continued...

Howard Livingston said… - Hey Ms. Italiano,
I'm glad you have your feet planted back in New England. Unfortunately, I haven't typed a key in over three weeks. I got let go from my jobs due to streamlining and have been having a tough time finding work. It's stressful but I won't bore you with the details. But know this, I don't give up. I've been sending out resumes every day.
Thanks for the heads up on this site. Am currently trying to use some connections I have in local government to get brought on as a freelance writer for some politicians(Blogs, websites) as well as volunteer for holding signs and other campaigning. Elevator union sign ups are coming up and I'm told having a letter from a member of local government is a good way to get picked.
You know me by know, I can't resist commenting and being involved but until the tidal wave of misfortune passes, I won't be in a frame of mind to write and be creative.
I'll observe this site and check back in to get familiar with it. People here seem much more open from what I've seen(Looked a little yesterday). Better than H-Wood East.
I'll talk to you soon and always goos to hear from you.
Howie

Greetings! I am a freelance writer who works as a copywriter/editor, but writes screenplays, and in truth, no matter what genre, I DO LOVE TO TELL THE STORY! For the last many years, I have written typical advertising-driven copy while living in the beautiful oasis Carmel-by-the-Sea. Currently I am living in quaint New England and working on a ghostwriting project for the wife of one of 20th Century Fox's Executive Producers. For my own personal therapy, I do love to write poetry, read good literature, and travel whenever I get a chance.
