Are you set, completely, on screenwriting? Why not fiction, or drama?
I'm not sure if that question is dumbassed, or out of line. It's just that as a writer, I hate seeing other writers not get their shot, especially if the stuff is good.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Oh I suck at writing narrative. I could drown you in dialogue but ask me to write a descriptive paragraph and I'm like a deer in headlights. That's how I ended up in screenwriting. Because if I wanted Jane to pick up a pencil, all I had to say was, "Jane picks up a pencil."
Sadly, "Jane picks up a pencil," makes for a very boring read.

In fiction, possibly so. But in drama? Playwright in the making, perhaps? Or does that particular journey not feel right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or comic books -- the pencil details are completely someone else's problem.

Hey, if Mister Ayelet Waldman can write the next Spiderman movie script? I am damned if I see why our own Ms. K can't collaborate with a drawing type person and craft a whole new comics gestalt.
I mean, I wish to hell somebody would. Someone who is not male, or eighteen, or in love with Laura Croft.

Heh. I trust you'll be seeing the movie, Deb?

Yes indeedy. Michael Chabon writing it? Oh, you dambetcha.
I'm hoping he comes along with Ayelet at our big Delancey Street group reading in January. Although reading with him in the audience? Yike.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I haven't seen him in years. Is he still fragile-looking, painfully reserved and delicately pretty?
