The Screenplay

Screenplay
Writing a screenplay has proven to be rewarding and frustrating. It's an entirely different way of writing. It challenged me and I liked that part of it. The hard part is not knowing if what I'm writing is working. I really can't compare it to anything except by saying it's Goodfellas with a little bit of a reverse 8 Mile. Once this is finished and registered with the Writers Guild of America, I'll release the name and further details.

Graphic Novel
I've been getting a lot of inquiries about the status of my graphic novel project. I'm getting close the the "shopping around" phase. Craig Rippon and Bill Anderson are mad scientist/friggin genius' and you don't rush it. It'll be well worth the wait so stay tuned!

Prepare for Glory

300
I bought this flick and loved it! It's based on a real historical event when 300 Spartans fought back a million man Persian army. It's bloody, it's gory, it's friggin awesome! My favorite lines are "Prepare for Glory," "Spartans never retreat. . . Spartans never surrender." If you want 2 hours of family fun - skip this movie, otherwise prepare for battle!

The Girl with the Long Green Heart
I'm reading this noir novel by the fantastic Lawrence Block. This book has real estate grifters playing each other for a big score. This was written in the 1960's and it's so good, it's sick! Thank God the publisher Hard Case Crime is bringing back these out of print classics.
