  1. HOT OFF THE PRESS: @SidewaysthePlay this Sun.mat. we will be pouring Hitching Post Highliner (incl. in cost of adm.) Few tix remaining. RT
  2. #Writing: W/ alacrity I welcome sleep & its concomitant deluge of dreams. Flaring in my unconscious, euphoric or dysphoric, it's all fodder.
  3. If you can't find one scintilla of humor in your despair, then you have no business #writing about despair. Humor elicits the true pathos.
  4. @msUndahstood Or as Elizabeth Taylor once quipped: "Success is the best deoderant."
  5. #RejectionLetters: "SIDEWAYS is just not up to the literary standards we try to ..." Sr. Ed. - Random House (pubs. of "50 Shades of Gray")
  6. @calindrome Only Alexander Payne has both -- in film, that is.
  7. @calindrome I was just kidding, Callie. If you want praise, wirte a great award-winning play; if you want the house on the beach, write TV.
  8. #RejectionLetters: "... SIDEWAYS is one of those slim, undernourished novels that I just can't support." Sr. Ed. Simon & Schuster ...
  9. #Writing: I'll say it again: the gold is coruscating at your feet, but almost invariably u have to scythe deep through your soul to mine it.
  10. @hsaffari @calindrome Well, after the stellar reviews of my @SidewaysthePlay this a.m. my suggestion would be tendentious. I advise poverty.
  11. @RexPickett @SidewaysthePlay And Kristelle, deservedly so, gets singled out for a nearly wordless, but important raft of roles! Rock on, KM.
  12. @lisamarks @SidewaysthePlay Thanks, Lisa! Hey, check out: bit.ly/JPMsAl and RT.
  13. @Alverio007 @rexpickett @sidewaystheplay it's all the writers out there who struggle every day for their vision who are my REAL inspiration.
  14. @Netbus @NBCLA Wow! HOLY S! There's a mountain lion 4 blocks from where I live. I can hear the helicoptera overhead. Not joking. Thanks!
  15. @SidewaysthePlay gets another unqualified rave, this from Beverly Cohn of Splash Magazines, a culture mag in L.A. RT bit.ly/JPMsAl...
  16. What I learned #writing SIDEWAYS is that character will outlive story & that, in your lowest moments, magic is fluttering at ur fingertips.
  17. @KateWestReviews Thanks for the nice review, Kate. Very well written. No one knows this about me, but I'm a closeted film critic.
  18. @BisolProsecco @londonwinefair Thanks everyone for having me. Yes, it was an early wake-up call for yours truly, but I enjoyed it immensely!
  19. @KateWestReviews @RashisTVUgly I've got a lot of Alexander Payne stories. Nothing negative. He's a really great guy, actually!
