I think you're back to writing today. How did the event go last night? Thx for Alice on Sunday! I look forward to it each week! Your post yesterday was particularly helpful as I revise my completed novel, Driven. Now in the frustrating process of querying agents ugh! You sent my oil painting of FP jacket cover to your editor. Any suggestions on an agent I might reach out to?

Well let’s hope someday those pages help the 🤞🏼lucky smart folks who decide to turn FP into a series (to all Hollywood folks reading this, do it! it’s great material! 😉). I love that writing assignment you got. It’s like Robert Gotlieb’s famous advice about writer’s block: don’t write. Type! Just so you know, I’m here to say the joy you feel in the writing can be felt by the reader! ❤️

Thank you for this. Last week I was talking to my students about The Cutting Room Floor and its importance, and why the work itself is as important as the (final) words that come from it.

The permission/freedom to enjoy the practice, not the perfection. And also somehow the work beneath the words. ❤️
