Great Ideas Generously Given By Collaborators



1) Use family members to motivate characters. Poor bastards.

2) Wind up the conflict. They live two hours. Punch it.

3) Incomplete sentences make things sound pithy and punchy. Pithy. Punchy.

4) Maybe if they sound pithy and punchy, they are pithy and punchy. (Refer to quote from Duke Elllington, "If it sounds good, it is good."

5) And the requisite Hawaii photo, ho hum I was there for years, don't hate me. OK, go ahead.

6) If it makes you feel any better, the stylish Minolta x-370 35 mm ( lots of anodized black parts) with which the above was taken was stolen from me in a Russian Metro.

7) Looking at the above photo, I realize how much my life has sucked since I left Hawaii. Whuh..whuh... why am doing this instead of eking out a living in Hawaii?

8) Do you think there is any chance that the above photo would look anything like that from a digital camera? Seriously, not a rhetorical question.
