I know, no recent postings. deadlines, deadlines, deadlines...
I think this quote perfectly sums up this week for me-
"There's nothing to writing. All you have to do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein.""

whew!!!
A lovely friend made it possible for me to see the musical Fela! on my recent trip to NY (twice!)
I feel so full creatively and remembered Robin Swicord (screenwriter of Memoirs of a Geisha) saying whenever you feel writer's block, it's because you're empty, and you need to see a show, go to a museum, do something - anything to re-fill your tank so you can flow again.
Having submitted two screenplays last month and about to start on revisions, as well as prepping several TV shows, I really did feel burnt out. But a little NYC ( my favorite medicine) and a fantastic show and I feel like, I'm back.
If you're stuck creatively (and it's not procrastination - different issue), I can vouch for Robin's advice. Go see a great show. Go to a comedy show. The museum. It works really.
Here's a little of Fela to get you on your way...

EMMYS: Q&A With Supporting Comedy Actor Nominee Ty Burrell
Love this interview. Phil is one of my favorite characters on Modern Family. And I always love stories where "nice guys finish first." Here's a great interview for all you actors. Be patient. As they say in Jamaica "soon come."

Quote Of The Day
"Everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt."
