    I hope everyone can disregard the writing I posted last night and then promptly took down.

    On another read, it was horrendous.

    Oops, I already copied and pasted it onto several heavily trafficked creative writing forums coupled with your real name and location. Sorry...was I not supposed to?

    Has anyone ever worked as a freelance writer for a newspaper? I just sent my resume because there was an ad in last Sunday's paper, so I'm crossing my fingers. I'm just hoping for a few articles a month, especially since I'm getting a new apartment in a couple weeks.

    A friend of mine worked for one of those weekly free publications. He loved it for the notoriety and the swag, but the pay could have been better.

    Hey, don't worry about it. My short comic was published and the company promptly folded after I've bragged to people about it. Lesson learned.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Goddam, I was going to give this a try again this year, but I completely forgot!

    I am almost done my script for the episode of "Arrested Development" I had to write.

    Only about 9 1/2 pages left...

    I am constantly astounded by how easy Final Draft makes the process of script writing. I don't have to worry about format at all - it does it all for me as I go along. I can just write and write. It's wonderful.
