What a tough, tough year for us writers. A lot of friends moving out of LA, quitting writing, projects falling apart. But also a good reminder (for me, at least) that writing is only one part of our lives and there's so many other joys to pursue.
We need to show we learned something after the Iraq war.
Every warmonger should not be allowed on TV, you shouldn't listen to their podcasts, and we should try them for warcrimes.
Let the warmongers face consequences for their actions so we can stop the circle of violence.
“I believe life is a continuum, and that no one really dies, they just drop their physical body and we'll all meet again, like the song says. It's sad but it's not devastating if you think like that... We're all going to be fine at the end of the story.” — David Lynch
A tribute to the DAME
I will never forget you.
My thoughts are with your sons, grandchildren, family, friends & your legions of fans throughout the world who admired & loved you.
I couldn’t sleep last night, so wrote some words (below).
I’m very sad to read that Donald Sutherland has died at the age of 88. I don’t have many celebrity stories, but I do treasure my spectacular interactions with Donald in the summer of 2015. Please do read on. (1/16) https://t.co/TtYVnrl7dS
“I wish I could say thank you to all of the characters that I've played, thank them for using their lives to inform my life.”

Donald Sutherland might have died today, but he almost ended it all last fall when the Blue Jays were swept by the Twins in the AL wild-card round.

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.
#RIPDonaldSutherland. I was blessed to direct him in #Backdraft. One of the most intelligent, interesting & engrossing film actors of all time. Incredible range, creative courage & dedication to serving the story & the audience with supreme excellence. https://t.co/kw601XQ6uh
If you can’t handle me when I’m down and out wondering if I should have pursued a more stable career, then you don’t deserve me when I’m seventh billing in a Folgers commercial or a quarterfinalist in a lower tier screenwriting competition.
