As my crit group well knows, and others who have heard me speak about writing know that I hate description.  Hate to write it.  Suck at it.  So that's been a writing exercise that I've been practicing for several years now.  To avoid the "white...

I realized I was wrestling with where to place the descriptions of Jokertown in the Wild Card screenplay I'm writing.  In a book it's fairly easy (though tedious, I hate to write description), but in a screenplay I need to tell the readers what they will be...

Okay you've been warned.   SPOILERS**************SPOILERS***********SPOILERS***********SPOILERS         Why didn’t BRAVE work?  It wasn’t bad it was just flat, and I think it was because they couldn’t decide who the...
