And 4 or 5 unfinished ones that do just that. Haha KeegsMom…I recevied a t-shirt as a gift that says “your screenplay sucks.” And 4 or 5 unfinished ones that do just that.

I read Bird by Bird several years ago but think I didn't really take it to heart... maybe didn't even finish it! I still have it, and will dig it out. thanks for noting. besides my blog, I intend someday, of course, to write a fabulous you-know-what. (Hint: It starts with an "s" and ends with a "y," and is the word you never really want to utter out loud lest you be scorned and mocked by those around you. Rightfully so.)

The guy who wrote WallE is like Hank Scorpio? Holy shit! That's tremendous. I would fully kiss that guy on the mouth if I ever ran into him for giving me the two hour joy ball that was WallE. How much did I love Wall E? I gave a hug to the parking ticket machine on the way out. That's how much I felt like I bonded with machines after that movie. Oh, and the first draft thing is totally true. I never read that Bird by Bird book, but people say it's good, so I think you should listen to people. Unless it's like a lynch mob or Nazis or something. In which case you should totally make up your own mind.

Wish I could have been there... one of the many things I miss about life in CA.... :( I’ve heard interviews with three of the six here, and your uber brief descriptions of each of them are frighteningly fitting!
