As I reflect on my writing & directing career so far, it occurs to me that I have been helped by so many people who will never receive credit for the role they played in my ability to make art, no matter how long they let me sleep on their couch. So I just want to say, thank you, Sal Saperstein.

I wish Google maps had useful information, like "where is my nearest wild lavender bush?" for when I need to dry some cuttings to make tea. 🌿🪻

"So many of my ancestors boarded ships with nothing but a small suitcase and found passage to a new life. Maybe this will be the cracking open of some new experience... A shift from survival to intentional living. It might even bring new joy..." 1/2 #writing #scriptsky #filmsky #prose

I bought an apron to keep the flour from my dress when I am baking. It came with a little mouse - a friend in my front pocket. #tanka #tankathursday #poem #writing #market #prompt

Geek stuff at the offices of Lucas and Coppola. A couple of weeks ago, I met the man who made the Millenium Falcon, and a bunch of other Star Wars model makers. A truly lost art ❤️ #sanfrancisco #filmsky #scriptsky
