INDELIBLE FRECKLES

I’ve done my shopping. I can do whatever I like now.

• Danny Stack has ten essential ingredients to becoming a professional screenwriter (the first step? read.)
• John August has some solid advice on what to do with your ill-gotten gains hard-earned ch-ching: money 101 for screenwriters.
• Lynden Barber has a posted an excellent article on The non-cinematic art of David Lynch (with part one of seven here).
• Another Kiwi scribe hits the ‘sphere: Sanjay Patel asks, in the context of local stories having global resonance, What makes a Kiwi film?
• It would be just like Lucy Vee to be an agent of the universe and provide some online resources for writing a play.
• Lee Lofland has a list of suggested pressies for the protagonist in your life (no Barretts or miniguns, but).
• Jane Espenson has a post about writing comics, while –
• – the Lair of the Kung Fu Monkey has a been taken over by comic scribes Mark Waid and Michael Alan Nelson. (“[A] comic story is made up of frozen moments” – I mean, who’d a thunk?)
• And I’ve just read the final volume of Brian K Vaughan and Pia Guerra‘s Y the Last Man. Having swallowed tears aplenty, I have vowed to read the whole series through again (once the libraries reopen).

Ladies and germs – happy holiday reading, viewing and relaxing.
