    Free Advice: Writing Whilst In The Weeds

    August 31st, 2009 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 5 Comments

    If you’re in the restaurant biz, you’ll hear it: “I’m in the weeds.” It’s waiter-waitress-cook lingo for, “I can’t keep up with my orders or my tables.” I like the image. So I’m taking it.

Some studio executive will kung-fu kick down the door and shower me in magical Hollywood money, money that glows and sings and giggles. Probably not. Assuming that life just [...]

    The City of Angles: Day Three

    I’m making a note here: “Huge success.” Day three is done. Morning meeting in Burbank. Technically, Burbank isn’t all that far from LA from what I can tell, but in the morning (and maybe at most hours), it turns into something of equal parts “clotted artery” and “parking lot.” Still, we made it to the [...]
