Thinking about my film for 5 minutes one day is often the difference between a productive writing session the next or not writing at all.
We shouldn’t glorify unhealthy 14 hour shoot days.
Let’s glorify:
• Short production days
• Longer turnaround time
• Real food for every meal
• Enough breaks to re-calibrate
• More meaningful creative work
Lord, deliver me from the urge to open my mouth when I should shut it. Give me the wisdom to keep silent where silence is wise. Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me.

Gov. Kate Brown signed a law to allow Oregon students to graduate without proving they can write or do math. She doesn’t want to talk about it. https://t.co/F7bTMI4Yxm
For @TGC I wrote about five subtle shapes Christianity can take that at first might seem benign—but will later set up a Christian for compromise:
1. Consumeristic
2. Pragmatic
3. Political
4. Emotionalistic (“All heart”)
5. Cerebral (“All head”)
