Writing post of the day. . .

My God. How many times did Mark Twain get it right?

To read his wit and wisdom is to grow in your own mentality and world view. He makes you smarter. He encourages you to think, and write, harder.

And then, in this blogging world, where you're supposed to get out your thoughts like the word songs—blegh, blahg—almost like puking, how do you choose your battles.

What part of your communication demands that every word choice be examined? I'm partway there in my journalism career. I need to step that up further.

I'm probably the closest to feeling like that with my screenplays.  am trying to carve a piece of the world, using specific characters to denote general human experience.

Oh yeah, and if I can get people to laugh and to be excited about the next scene, I'll be happy too.
